Czech it Out - Weekend 1

Karlovy Lazne is the largest facility of its kind in Central Europe. Thanks to its five music clubs on five separate floors, it is also one of the best technically equipped club’s in the world. The themed floors are one-of-a-kind for their original character, which is further enhanced by the historical interior and architecture of the building built at the turn of the 15th century, which have been preserved. The original mosaic tiling of the hallways and walls, mosaic pictures in the main rooms and partially preserved old spa facilities and pools in the style of Roman baths, which now serve as dance floors (without water of course) on two floors of the club. Together with modern facilities and music to suit all tastes certainly creates an entirely unique atmosphere, which has made Karlovy Lazne one of the most visited dance club’s in the Czech Republic. With the exception of public spas, in the past Karlovy Lazne also housed a café and even the newspaper editorship of Karel Havlíček Borovsky. From the second half of the last century, the building was abandoned and gradually began to deteriorate. At the end of the 1990s, an idea was born to reconstruct the devastated building, which stands just 100m away from Charles Bridge and to establish a music club. Karlovy Lazne welcomed its first visitors on 1.12.1999.
