The historical cottage of the Club of Czechoslovak Tourists was built in 1924 with the cost of CZK 1 041 500. The project was developed by the significant architect Bohuslav Fuchs, in memory of whom the building was declared an immovable cultural monument in 1996.
After its completion, the cottage had 28 rooms with 57 beds and two dormitories with 22 beds. The price of a room bed amounted to CZK 8 in 1938, while the price of a dormitory bed was CZK 5. Electric light and water piping was conducted to all rooms and the building offered such facilities as a bath and a shower.
The cottage was named after the deceased writer Karel Klostermann (1848-1923) who devoted his work to the beauties of the Šumava region. Thanks to its location, the cottage served to the German Army during the World War II and to the Border Guard after the war. Later on, it was transformed into the recreational premises for the employees of Škoda Plzeň state-owned enterprise. Klostermann Chalet had to be closed in 1996 for technical reasons and was falling into ruin until 2002, when a general reconstruction was initiated under the supervision of the Šumava National Park Administration, the National Heritage Institute and other authorities. Klostermann Chalet returned into operation in April 2004.
Bohuslav Fuchs (24the March 1895 in Všechovice – 18th September 1972 in Brno)  was a significant Czech architect and town planner, leading representative of the Czech modern art and of the Brno school of functionalism, university professor and holder of the National Artist title.
