A Jewish enclave existed in Mariánské Lázně from around 1824 and by 1861 it had its own hospital with a small chapel. The Jewish cemetery close to the road to Velká Hleďsebe was founded in 1875. By 1930 it had been extended and is still used today.

This place of worship was built in the neo-Byzantine style between 1844 and 1848.

As you walk through this part of the Slavkovský Forest, you may wonder what that rotten smell is. It comes from small rifts which host no life. Bleached skulls of field mice and forest birds, together with a myriad of insects grimly complete the picture.

The spa forests nature trail in Mariánské Lázně presents a wide selection of topics and focuses on spa care, history, geology, mining, forestry, zoology, botany and ecology. Some 23 stations are spread out over 5km of forest trails where info boards are packed with interesting information.

An elegant one-storey tower used to stand here. It was erected in 1847 but the surrounding forests had overgrown it by 1879. Only a sign now gives any indication the buidling once stood here.

The main space within the gallery, a large room on the first floor, not only serves as an exhibition hall but can also be used as a conference venue, the ideal location for cultural and other events.

On the third floor – the building’s attic - we find another exhibition space which provides a more intimate and inspiring backdrop for displays. Both spaces have wonderful views of the spa park which lends the galleries a very special ambience and enhances the aesthetic experience of the works on display.

The gallery is open every day, tickets can be purchased from the tourist information centre on the ground floor.
