Vojenské lázně, Military spa facility in Teplice, Czech Republic

Vojenské lázně is a spa facility in Teplice that houses 92 rooms for guest accommodation. The building offers single rooms, double rooms, and two-bedroom apartments, all equipped with private bathrooms and refrigerators.

Built between 1804 and 1807 on the initiative of Marshal Johann von Zoph, on a meadow with several springs in Šanov, the spa was intended for wounded soldiers of mutually hostile armies and made Teplice a neutral zone by agreement of rulers. It was one of the first military treatment institutes of its kind in Europe. Šanov became a town in 1884 and was joined to Teplice eleven years later; major building works followed in 1886–1887 and 1948–1952, with the last modernization in 2009.

The site began as Lázeňský dům císaře Františka I. and was later called Vojenské lázně; it was built from 1804 to 1807 on the initiative of Marshal Johann von Zoph. Teplice was then a neutral zone where wounded soldiers of opposing armies were treated, and the military institute was among the first of its kind in Europe.

The main entrance opens onto Sady Československé armády; the official address is Svatopluka Čecha 2. Trolleybus lines 106 and 111 and bus line 122 of the Teplice network stop nearby, while the train and bus stations lie about 1,500 metres away. The grounds also include the Judita spa house and the Vladislav and Antonie annexes.

The complex was built on a meadow with several springs at the urging of Marshal Johann von Zoph (1740–1812), and the military treatment institute was among the first of its kind in Europe. Teplice became a neutral zone where wounded soldiers of opposing armies were treated.
