Tržní kolonáda, Wooden colonnade in Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic
Description
Tržní kolonáda is a wooden colonnade with three mineral springs located on the banks of the Teplá River in Karlovy Vary. The structure showcases intricate woodwork with arched columns and detailed carvings that extend along three sides.
History
The colonnade was designed by Viennese architects Ferdinand Fellner and Hermann Helmer in Swiss style and constructed between 1882 and 1883 by craftsman Franz Oesterreicher. It formed part of the major development of Karlovy Vary as a spa town in the 1800s.
Culture
Three mineral springs located here are used by locals and visitors to drink water and experience the healing properties. These springs are central to daily life in Karlovy Vary and draw people seeking natural mineral waters.
Practical
The colonnade is easy to reach on foot and sits along the river with wide, level paths accessible to most visitors. It is best to visit early in the day when there is less crowding.

A bronze relief plaque by Adolf Zörkel from 1939 sits above the Charles IV Spring and depicts the discovery of the hot spring. This artwork is a quiet reminder of the spa town's early history.
