Wildbad San Candido

The ruins of the Wildbad Innichen (Italian: Bagni di San Candido ) are located in South Tyrol between Innichen and Sexten at 1,336 meters above sea level.
The Wildbad was first mentioned in a document in 1586 , but its history dates back to Roman times, as evidenced by the excavations of coins and amphorae. The spa hotel, which today only exists as a ruin, was opened in 1856 by the Hungarian doctor Dr. Johann Graf Scheiber (later expanded by his daughter and her husband, Graf Bercker). The Wildbad was partially destroyed during the First World War and has since been left to decay.
Next to the ruin there are five healing water sources: Kaiserwasser, Lavaredo, Schwefelquelle, Eisenquelle and Candida, some of which are used commercially (Kaiserwasser GmbH).
The St. Salvator Chapel, which was built in 1591 by the monastery dean Hieronymus Schüssier, is located on a hill above the springs. The oldest pictorial representation of the wild bath is located on the winged altar, which also dates from this period. It is now in the San Candido collegiate church . Both the Wildbad and the chapel are listed buildings in Innichen .
