Saline, Salt production facility in Bad Kissingen, Germany
The Obere Saline building exhibits cast iron architectural elements and large windows across its symmetrical facade, reflecting industrial design principles of the 19th century.
Construction of the salt production facility in 1848 marked the beginning of Bad Kissingen's development as a significant center for therapeutic mineral water treatments.
The Saline building now houses the Bismarck Museum, displaying artifacts and documents related to the former German chancellor who frequently visited Bad Kissingen.
Guided tours of the salt production facility operate daily from April through October, with entrance tickets available at the main reception desk.
The building retains its original water wheel mechanism and steam engine room, demonstrating the technical processes used for extracting salt from mineral water springs.
