from the discovery of a healing spring in the woods by Premonstratensian monks in 1197, 6 centuries passed before the location was granted the status of a spa and received its name, derived from Mary's Spring. In the 19th century, spa buildings sprang up around here faster than mushrooms in the surrounding forest. By the time the poet Goethe fell passionately in love with the young Ulrike here in the summer of 1823, a stay in Marianske Lazne had already become a must on the European social calendar.
Other famous guests have included Ema Destinnova , Richard Wagner, Frederic Chopin , Franz Kafka, Thomas Edison and hundreds of others.
The importance of this spa town is confirmed by the fact that it is one of the European spa towns applying for inclusion on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Come here to relax in the care of the professionals at the spa and to taste the delicious spa wafers.
REASON TO VISIT
A real architectural gem and a perennially popular place to visit is the cast - iron colonnade with the Singing Fountain which at every odd hour from April to October plays some of the most famous compositions of the international repertoire. If you are a romantic spirit, make sure to come back in the evening, when the music is complemented by lighting effects.
In 1905, the first golf course in the Czech lands was opened here by King Edward VII of England. The highlight of the club's history is obtaining the right to use the title " Royal Golf Club " through a generous decision by Queen Elizabeth II in 2003 . It's another reason why Marianske Lazne wears the royal crown of Czech spas.
