A bit of backstory
Back in the day, the regional gallery was housed in the former Renaissance villa of Johann Liebieg Jr., but the space wasn’t enough. So the gallery got moved to the former spa and now you get double the art inspiration.
Did you know the former spa was built between 1901 and 1902? The spa lived its best life ‘til the 1980s, when it fell into hard times and changed owners so many times we lost track. Fortunately, in 2005, the city won the spa at a public auction. Once the city took over they did all the necessary repairs to revive the building and bring it back to its true beauty. So get over there and enjoy!
