Histoire
Trenčianske Teplice's healing springs were first mentioned in 1247, with spa activities dating back to the 14th century.
The property belonged to the Cseszneky de Milvány family in the 13th century and later to the Illésházy aristocratic family from 1582.
In 1835, Viennese financier Jozef Sina acquired the spa and developed it extensively, including the construction of the Hammam in 1888 by his daughter Ifigénia.
The spa was nationalized after World War II and has since evolved into a modern health resort while preserving its historic charm and architecture.
