Napoleon's army was also stationed in Lewin Kłodzki. The cloth industry in Silesia eventually collapsed and the growth of the region halted. Since the 19th century, Lewin has been known to be part of a trail of spa towns with the close by Kudowa-Zdrój and Duszniki-Zdrój. It was a popular spot for holidaymakers who visited the surrounding Sudetes and enjoyed the rural hill-like scenery. In 1938 the Nazis changed the name of Lewin to Hummelstadt as the previous name was deemed too Slavic. In accordance with the Potsdam Agreement, the town again became part of Poland after World War II. The local German population was expelled and new Polish arrivals settled from the Eastern Borderlands (so-called "Kresy") that were annexed by the Soviet Union. In 1946, due to depopulation and its small size, the Polish authorities degraded Lewin to the status of a village.
