Bad Salzuflen, Thermal spa town in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany
Bad Salzuflen is a spa town on the Werre River in the Lippe district, spreading through several local neighborhoods that rely on natural salt water sources. The town combines timber-frame buildings with parks and modern clinic facilities that specialize in mineral water therapy.
The settlement appears in records from the 11th century as Uflon and developed through salt extraction into an economic center of the region. In the early 20th century, the town received official recognition as a health spa and began attracting visitors seeking treatment.
The town maintains the Renaissance-style Old Town Hall and the St. Kilian Church, which stands as the region's earliest Christian building from 800 AD.
The thermal spa facilities are mostly near the spa park and offer different treatments based on the local mineral springs. Visitors can explore the pedestrian zones and park areas throughout the year, with summer months allowing for more outdoor activities.
The spa park contains several salt springs with different mineral compositions that have been in use for centuries. The Paulinenquelle is considered one of the most productive and supplies water for drinking cures and baths.
