Despite the benefits of thermal waters, the popularity of these spa treatments has declined in recent decades.
Built in the early 19th century, the hotel once flourished for more than a hundred years, welcoming spa guests to its grandiose halls. However, about fifty years ago the doors closed for good. The reason is unclear. Perhaps it served briefly as a school, as evidenced by the old school desks found in the basement. In any case, it is unmistakable that the hotel is deserted.
Located in the heart of a small town, the deteriorating state of the hotel is visible from afar. Access is surprisingly easy, requiring just a quick sprint past unsuspecting passersby. Ironically, across the street is a thriving hotel from a well-known chain, a stark contrast to the misfortune of this dilapidated hotel.
While the main building is still somewhat standing, the outbuildings have suffered more. The reception, with a beautiful stained glass ceiling, is in a particularly sad state. The floor is dangerously rotten and certain parts are therefore impassable. This decline is especially heartbreaking given the former elegance of the property.
