Discover Bad Dirsdorf

Bad Dirsdorf (Przerzeczyn-Zdrój) combines a long spa history with distinctive architectural and landscape features. There are several ways to approach planning your trip: the former bathing facilities, the history of the local church and the landscape along the Ślęza River. There is also a described red cycling route. If you are looking for a hotel, you can first consider whether your stay will be shaped mainly by local history, nature or a cycling tour.

Spa History and Water

The history of the spa dates back to 1802, when Count von Pfeil had a spring developed for therapeutic purposes. In the same year, a sulphur-water spring was enclosed and a small wooden bathhouse was built for therapeutic baths; the building is now called Jaś. The early spa history is thus linked to a spring and a specific bathhouse.

The spa house built in Przerzeczyn in 1825 is now known as Akacja. Jaś and Akacja represent two different historic buildings: the small wooden bathhouse and the later spa house. The natural mineral waters of Przerzeczyn-Zdrój are also part of the town’s character; they are rich in sulfides, radon or iron. The spa theme therefore encompasses both named historic buildings and the natural composition of the water.

Historic Landmarks

The origins of the Church of Our Lady Queen of Poland (Najświętszej Maryi Panny Królowej Polski) date back to 1280. This historic landmark therefore predates the dates given for the spa facilities, 1802 and 1825. This timeline distinguishes the church’s early history from the later development of the bathing facilities and spa house.

The eastern spa district is home to the spa park, mineral water boreholes, a fountain and sanatorium buildings. This combination of green space, water sources and buildings characterizes this part of town. If you are interested in the historic townscape, the spa district complements the individual building histories by giving an impression of the town’s spatial layout.

Landscape and Nature

A picturesque rocky gorge on the Ślęza, with cascades and a small waterfall, shapes the landscape of Przerzeczyn-Zdrój. Here, rock and flowing water take center stage—a different perspective on the town from its historic spa buildings.

The landscape park around the 1906 palace is also one of the area’s landscape features. It covers about 3.4 hectares. This approximate area gives an indication of the park’s size and adds a second accent to the natural setting, distinct from rock and water.
