FRANTIŠKOVY LÁZNĚ – ABOUT THE CITY
![](https://sp-ao.shortpixel.ai/client/to_auto,q_glossy,ret_img,w_120,h_103/https://ck-astra.cz/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/astra_spa2.png)
Františkovy Lázně, founded in 1793 by the Austrian Emperor Francis I. as the first muddy spa in the world, is the smallest spa town of the West Bohemian spa triangle. They are valued mainly due to rich deposits of sulfur-ferrous mud and mineral springs, which are used to treat heart and vascular diseases, female diseases and locomotory diseases. This picturesque spa town, thanks to architecture from the end of the 18th and the first half of the 19th century, has retained an unforgettable atmosphere.
The unique architectural ensemble of classicist, empire and historicist buildings, set in the greenery of parks and forest parks, was declared the City Heritage Reserve in 1992. The resort is characterized by mild climate and exceptionally clean air. The symbol of the city is the statue of František, to which a legend says that every female patient who touches the left leg of the statue becomes pregnant.

The current Franciscan-spa Balneology is focused mainly on gynecological diseases and treatment of sterility, locomotive and circulatory diseases and oncological diseases. The treatment of these diseases is based on the use of natural healing resources, which are medicinal springs, mud and gasses. Twenty-one mineral springs at a temperature of 9-11 °C, hidden in many colonnades, pavilions and arbors, are used for drinking treatment.
The most famous healing spring is the Franciscan Spring, which became the most sought-after medicine in Europe around 1600 and was exported in ceramic bottles to all major cities. This spring is gathered in a walled Classicist rondel with Doric columns, which is one of the symbols of Františkovy Lázně. Local sirloin feldspar is used in the form of peat packs, baths and vaginal tampons. Liquid gas (almost pure carbon dioxide with very little admixture of other gases) is used both in the form of common dry gas baths or individual gynecological baths.
