Kavkaz

The Kavkaz building, formerly known as Hotel Weimar, occupies Goethovo náměstí 15 and displays traditional spa town architecture with ornate exterior decorations. Its distinctive structure with decorative details shapes the character of this healing resort town.

The building was constructed in 1821 under architect Arnold Heymann and quickly became an essential part of the local spa infrastructure. It emerged during the period when Mariánské Lázně began developing as a European spa destination.

The building reflects how European spa towns evolved around mineral springs and healing treatments that shaped entire communities. It shows how such places became centers for wellness and social gatherings.

Since April 2019, the building remains closed to visitors, though its exterior can be observed from Goethovo náměstí in the town center. The surrounding area with its walking paths and parks still offers a way to experience the location and understand its story.

The building carries the Czech Monument Catalogue Number 1000137150 and maintains protected status in the national register. Its closure has given it time for reflection on its architectural heritage and future possibilities.
