Lipová-lázně in the Jesenicko region is finishing the construction of the future museum

Lipová-lázně (Jesenicko) - The municipality of Lipová-lázně in Jesenicko is currently completing the construction of a multifunctional building, where visitors to the municipality will find a museum, a ceremonial hall, and an information center. The costs of renovating the former after-school facility amount to 9.5 million crowns. The majority of the funding has been obtained from European Union sources.
    "The building is already completed. Now we will work on creating the future exhibition of the museum. We hope to open it in the autumn,” said the mayor of the municipality, Lubomír Žmolík, to ČTK.
    Visitors to the municipality should find an information center and a presentation room for Czech-Polish meetings on the first floor. "We want to offer Polish partners a space where they can present themselves with dignity. The room can also serve for ceremonies or for welcoming newborns,” added the mayor.
    On the second floor of the building, a museum dedicated to the local founder of the spa, Johann Schroth, as well as exhibitions on the history of spa treatments and the pre-war and post-war history of the municipality, should be established.
    The municipality embarked on the construction primarily to commemorate the legacy of the spa's founder, who was a contemporary of the founder of the Jesenice spa, Vincenz Priessnitz. The natural healer Schroth was born in 1798 in the village of Česká Ves in Jesenicko. The Lipová spa was established in the 1830s.
    The municipality received over seven million crowns for the project from the Interreg IIIA cross-border cooperation program, part of the funding came from a state grant, and over one million crowns were allocated from its budget. Experts reconstructed the entire pre-war building, including the fencing, during the renovations, and a parking lot was also built on the site.
