Staré Splavy

Staré Splavy (German Thammühl am See) is a town and a former spa resort, a part of the Doksy municipality in the Česká Lípa district, Liberec region, North Bohemia. It is a recreation center on the northwest shore of Máchovo jezero. At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, it was one of the most famous holiday destinations in all of Austro-Hungary. Even during the First Czechoslovak Republic, Staré Splavy was a popular recreational place, especially for well-off Jewish clientele from Prague, Liberec and even places as distant as Berlin or Vienna. At the beginning of the 20th century, many built their summer homes here, mostly in the style of art noveau or functionalism (for example the Kohn brothers from Prague or Miloš Forman's parents).
