It is known for the largest spa in Moravia and for architecturally valuable buildings designed by the architect Dušan Jurkovič.
The historic town centre with the spa infrastructure is well preserved and is protected by law as an urban monument zone.
The eastern part of the municipal territory extends into the White Carpathians Protected Landscape Area.
Reports of the healing power of Luhačovice springs spread, and the first inn for spa guests was built in 1789.
In the late 18th century, new houses, inns and Chapel of Saint Elizabeth were built in the vicinity of the springs.
The railway line was built, which became necessary for the municipality, and Luhačovice gained direct transport connections from Prague, Brno and Olomouc.
The first stage of important building development of the spa area was connected with the name of the architect Dušan Jurkovič, the author of the fundamental reconstruction of the Janův House, the hydropathic establishment and other places.
[8] Luhačovice mineral water is a heavily mineralized, naturally effervescent residual seawater, indicated for diseases of vocal cords and breathing pathways, metabolic diseases, stomach and duodenal ulcers, liver cirrhosis, diabetes mellitus, chronic pancreatitis, and excessive consumption of alcohol.
[10] In 1902–1914, the architect Dušan Jurkovič created here a unique set of buildings in the style of folk Art Nouveau inspired by local natural environment.
