Ronneby Brunnspark
Ronneby Brunnspark is a spa park in Ronneby ( Sweden ) and was one of the most popular spa towns at the turn of the century . Not only the sick came here. Well-off people from Sweden and abroad were also attracted by the invigorating power of spa life for body and soul.
The first healing spring was discovered in 1705, but the heyday did not begin until the late 19th century. In the 1930s, drinking spring water was out of date and the facilities were taken over by tourists. In 1959 the Brunnenhotel burned down completely.
The Brunnenhotel was soon rebuilt in a modern form and is now one of the largest conference facilities in the country. The pretty old wooden houses in the park are listed and have been carefully renovated. Blekinge Naturum is housed in Villa Vera. The Wienercafé is now located in the former well hospital. Villa Gymnastiken is to become an information and visitor center for the fountain park. And the old fountain halls offer music and entertainment, flea markets and other markets in summer. In summer you can drink the spring water.
The fountain park is an oasis with inviting lawns, a pretty waterfall, plantings and a mountain of rhododendrons. The walking paths behind the mountain lead past exotic trees to the silver grotto (Silvergrottan), the magic lake (Trollsjön), the Japanese garden (Japanska Trädgarden) and the scented garden (Doftträdgarden).
The park was placed under protection as Byggnadsminne in 1996 (renewed in 2015) .
