Why go

Königliches Kurhaus

The Königliches Kurhaus was built in 1899 and 1900 to the plans of Max Littmann, one of the great Munich architects of the period. With its neo-baroque façade, its domed towers and its arched entrance, it quickly became the centre of social life in the royal Bavarian spa town.

Between 1991 and 1995 the building was completely renovated and returned to its original architecture, while being fitted with modern technology. Today it hosts concerts, balls, markets, congresses and private celebrations in five halls — and it remains the calling card of the Alpine and congress town of Bad Reichenhall.
