History
The first thermal springs were discovered here in the second half of the 8th century. In the middle of the 12th century, Queen Judith founded a Benedictine monastery here, and almost a hundred years later a fortified Gothic town was built here. Later, a Renaissance chateau was built on the site of the monastery, and spas continued to develop in the town. After the Thirty Years' War, the depopulated population of Teplice was supplemented by the supply of German colonists, who lived here until their expulsion in 1945. In the 18th century, industry developed greatly, brown coal mines were established around Teplice and stocking production flourished.
In 1812, Ludwig van Beethoven and Johann Wolfgang Goethe met here in the Castle Garden for the only time in their lives. In the past, the Teplice Spa hosted a large number of personalities who entered both Czech and European history, and until the Second World War, the city was nicknamed "Little Paris" for its high cultural level and architecture.
