Kurhaus in Wiesbaden - Great Attractions (Wiesbaden, Germany)

Take a tour of Kurhaus in Wiesbaden in Wiesbaden, Germany – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats. The most popular large-scale meeting place in Wiesbaden, Germany is the magnificently designed Kurhaus. "Kurhaus" means "spa house", which was once its purpose in this well-known spa town. The building is designed in the neoclassical style, reminiscent of ancient Greece and Rome, with columns, porticos, and even a dome. The words "Aquis Mattiacis" are inscribed over the entrance to the Kurhaus and mean "the waters of the Mattiaci". So many people were visiting the Wiesbaden spas that the old spa house was demolished in 1907 to make way for the larger current building. At night, the Kurhaus transforms into a glowing palace, with a golden dome and a glimmering fountain.
