The spa area in Ledce u Kladna is a unique historical monument to the Central Bohemia region. It combines Renaissance castle, spa buildings and healing springs. Located in a quiet village Ledce, protected since 1963 as a cultural monument.
It originated in the early nineteenth century as a spa complex. The basis is a Renaissance castle building, later adapted for medical purposes. The exact details of the founders or original purpose have not been preserved, but the preserved documents confirm the Renaissance core of the building, which subsequently underwent modifications in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
Architecturally occupies the Renaissance castle, which forms the core of the complex. Later extended and adapted for spa purposes, it retains original elements - Renaissance facades and interior details. The area is supplemented by healing springs and park, which probably belonged to the original design. The building of stone and bricks reflects the typical architecture of the time and its arrangement corresponded to the needs of the spa operation.
The complex never carried the importance of a spa centre, such as Karlovy Vary, but served both locals and visitors. Since the First World War, it has no longer been in operation, which allowed the original form to be maintained without subsequent changes. Yet he kept architectural and historical value.
Today, the area is open to the public and offers an opportunity to know the atmosphere of the spa environment from the beginning of the nineteenth century. Its peaceful village location contributes to authenticity. For lovers of history and architecture it is an interesting alternative to more famous tourist goals.
