The idea of establishing a public thermal swimming pool in Teplice arose in the autumn of 1931 and quickly gained strong support from the then-owner of the estate, Dr. Alfonse Clary-Aldringen. Thanks to his backing, construction proceeded without delay, and the pool was officially opened on 16 July 1932.
The swimming pool was among the most modern of its kind, and the entire complex reflected the spirit of the new era — combining functionality with aesthetic quality. The facility served not only for recreation but also for competitive swimming. The complex included ticket offices, a key desk, a telephone, a first-aid room, a laundry drying area, and rooms for management and lifeguards. Visitors could also rent swimsuits and towels. During its first season, the pool welcomed more than 81,000 visitors.
After the war, the pool remained a popular destination for the people of Teplice. However, the situation changed in the 1980s, when the city stopped investing in its operation, and the facility gradually fell into disrepair. Seasons in the 1990s were unprofitable, and in 1996 the pool was permanently closed. The area was later sold to a private entity, and the pool was filled in.
In 2025, the city managed to repurchase the complex, leaving the space open for a new purpose that could build on its rich history and the tradition of Teplice’s thermal baths.
