It is located in a wooded area, and its nerve center is the large garden of Vaclava Skalnika, around which the most attractive places are located.
Maxim Gorky Colonnade in Marianske Lazne
Without a doubt, the most important corner is the Colonnade of Maxim Gorky, a truly spectacular building and larger than the colonnades you can see in Karlovy Vary.
It is an imposing metal and glass structure that was built in 1889.
Inside the colonnade there are hot springs that can be taken by visitors.
If the exterior view of the colonnade is surprising due to its dimensions, this sensation increases when exploring its interior.
Nearby is the Assumption Catholic Church, with a circular plan, whose construction dates back to 1818.
On your walk through the large garden of Marianske Lazne You can see several fountains, and in the surroundings you will find the buildings of the Theater (Theater) built in 1866, the Casino, from 1901, and the Nove Lazne (bathrooms), from 1896.
