The Castle Fountain was first discovered in 1769 under the Castle Tower in the historic center of Karlovy Vary. The first pavilion over the spring was built in 1797. In 1830, the arbor was completed with a new wooden colonnade designed by architect Josef Esch. Between 1910 and 1912, the Karlovy Vary master builder Friedrich Seitz built a new Art Nouveau colonnade designed by Viennese architect Johann Friedrich Ohmann. The colonnade consists of three separate units; the Lower Castle Fountain Colonnade, the Sunbathing Area and the Upper Castle Fountain Colonnade. It was intended to connect the space above the Castle Fountain with the Market Colonnade and create a single promenade unit.

Until the 15th century, Karlsbad was a branch of the parish of Zettlitz. A wooden chapel dedicated to St. Mary Magdalene was probably located in the center on a hill near the Sprudel since the second half of the 14th century. On August 14, 1370, Emperor Charles IV elevated the already existing town of Warmbad to the status of a royal town.[1] The church was first mentioned in a document in 1485 in connection with a donation from Count Hieronymus Schlick.[2] The Knights of the Cross with the Red Star had the right of patronage. From 1491 it was an independent parish church. In addition to Karlsbad, the parish also included the villages of Donitz, Drahowitz, Fischern, Ober- and Untermaierhöfen as well as Berghäusln, which belonged to the Gießhübel domain. In 1493, a Knight of the Cross named Nikolaus was the pastor.

In 1518, a new building was built in the form of a small, one-story half-timbered church. It was surrounded by a cemetery, which had been used as a burial site since around 1500. Behind the church, on a higher level, there was a vicarage garden. In the 16th century, the Reformation took hold. As early as 1535, a pastor is said to have preached in St. Andrew's Church. In 1554, the council officially adopted Lutheran doctrine. Until 1624, the vicarage was filled by 13 Lutheran clergy in succession. The first was Andreas Hampisch.[3] The church was destroyed in the town fire of 1604, but was rebuilt shortly afterwards. In 1605, it received new bells from the bell founder Hans Wild from St. Joachimsthal. During the Thirty Years' War, the church was again destroyed by fire. The last pastor, Johannes Rebhun, had to leave the country on August 24, 1624, on the orders of Emperor Ferdinand II, along with those citizens who did not convert to Catholicism. Rebhun became pastor in Culmitzsch in the diocese of Weida in 1624 and died in 1675.

In 1628, Catholic worship was forcibly reintroduced. Many citizens, especially women, only converted later. The first Catholic pastor since the Reformation was the Augustinian monk Father Franciscus Albinus. He was followed in turn by Knights of the Cross, secular priests and other religious clergy. Since 1656, the parish office has always been filled by Knights of the Cross. From 1698, the Knights of the Cross exercised the right of presentation jointly with the city's magistrate, in the form that the Grand Master proposed three religious priests from whom the magistrate selected one, who was then presented to the prince-archbishop's consistory.[4]

Karlovy Vary City Theatre

Highlight • Monument

Theatrical life in Karlovy Vary is mentioned as early as the beginning of the 18th century. The construction of this magnificent building began in 1884, just a month after the demolition of the old theater (the baroque Becher Theater from 1787, destroyed by fire in 1883) on the same site. The project was entrusted to Ferdinand Fellner and Hermann Helmer from Vienna, and the entire building was built in just twenty months. The magnificent hand-painted curtain celebrating poetry, the frescoes above the proscenium and the paintings on the vaulted ceiling are by Viennese artists, the brothers Gustav and Ernest Klimt and Franz Matsch.
