This spa is to be found within the town of the same name, which lies in the southwest part of the Turcianska kotlina valley and not far from the town of Martin. Turcianske Teplice is one of the oldest spas on the territory of Slovakia, as people began to take advantage of its healing effects as early as 1402. The Turcianske Teplice spa belongs to the oldest and best known spa towns in the whole Europe. The first written text known to mention its existence refers back to 1281 when King Ladislaus IV the Cuman (Hungarian: IV Laszlo, Slovak: Ladislav IV Kumansky) donated the territory rich in thermal springs to Count Peter.

The healing effects of the thermal mineral water in Turcianske Teplice Spa were keenly sought after by monarchs, noblemen, and by subjects of the lords as well. In 1423, King Sigismund of Luxemburg attended by his entourage tried the healing and regenerative effects of these springs. Another famous monarch, King Maximilian of Habsburg, Emperor of Mexico, came here to rest and recuperate. Countess Nyari, Francis II. Vesselenyi, and Maria Secianska who was known as Venus of Muran due to her remarkable beauty, also came to the Turiec spa on a regular basis. Prominent doctors and scholars worked in the spa of Turcianske Teplice, many of whom, apart from operating their own medical practice, did scientific research here.

The healing effects and rare composition of the Turiec thermal water were first described by Kremnica City Doctor, a Halle University Medical School graduate, Dr. Jan Lisschoviny. These days, the spa is an ideal place to relax, recuperate, take treatment, and to return to life. Visitors from many countries all over the world come here to improve their health and well-being and tidings of the healing thermal water with a high concentration of minerals spread rapidly throughout the earth.
