Vysne Ruzbachy Spa

Spa History

The first spa building with the pool, kitchen, canteen, and event room was built in 1595, serving Polish and Hungarian aristocracy.
In 1825, the spa got reconstructed, and the manor-house, new spa house, and mirror bath were built.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the village of Vysne Ruzbachy had gradually started to change to one of the most modern spas in Slovakia.
The White House, one of the local dominants, was built on the travertine mound in the Biedermeier style.

Further plans for the spa development and revitalizing were canceled by WW II. and the later political changes.
Spa buildings come from the 1920s – 1940s, and the hotels and modern constructions from 1975 - 1997.

A protected natural landmark of the area is a small travertine lake called Crater with the thermal water from the spring named Izabella.
