Park Colonnade in Karlovy Vary

Park Colonnade in Karlovy Vary

A memorial of times past hidden in the middle of a park

An entire impressive pavilion used to stand here but today you can only admire the cast-iron colonnade which, under its masterfully crafted framework, shelters two of the local magical springs.  
Discover the story of the Park Colonnade designed by the Viennese architects Fellner and Helmer, which used to serve as a promenade for the Blanenský Pavilion in late 19th century. Even though the pavilion was demolished in the 1960s and the colonnade only constitutes a small fraction of the original building, it is still an important monument of cast-iron spa architecture. 
 
Visit the place where the brilliant Czech composer Antonín Dvořák cultivated the ideas for his finest works. Today you can try to trace his footsteps in Karlovy Vary. The Park Colonnade, as part of the town’s spa zone, crowns the “Dvořákovy sady” Park and in its shade you can taste the Snake Spring and the Park Spring.
