Kursaalbau

The Kursaalbau is a concert hall and event venue in Bad Kissingen that blends classical architectural elements with arcaded structures. The building displays grand halls and performance spaces enclosed within its stone facades.

Friedrich von Gärtner designed the building in 1838 as a catalyst for Bad Kissingen's rise as a major European spa town. The construction marked the beginning of a transformation that would establish the town as a center for mineral springs and cultural life.

The Kursaalbau has long served as a gathering place for concerts and exhibitions in Bad Kissingen. Visitors experience regular performances by the local philharmonic orchestra and rotating art exhibitions that shape the town's cultural rhythm.

The building is located at Ludwigstraße 2 and offers multiple rooms for events, concerts, and meetings with regular access for visitors. Its central location and good accessibility make it easy to reach and explore.

The building gained recognition as part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site 'The Great Spa Towns of Europe' in 2021. This honor reflects its role in the broader story of European wellness and cultural heritage.
