Several barrels of healing water from Libverda were sent to Dresden in 1583 for Elector Augustus of Saxony, and the famous commander Albrecht von Wallenstein also used the water during his military campaigns. The spa itself, however, was founded in the second half of the 18th century.
The founder of the modern spa was Count Kristián Filip Clam-Gallas, who opened new mineral springs between 1776 and 1818. The new sources were named after members of the Clam-Gallas family and emerged directly near the spa buildings. A spa park was established at the end of the 18th century.
In the early 19th century, a promenade, an Empire-style summer residence, a pavilion above the Marian Spring, and the main administrative building were constructed. Thanks to the founder’s support, a local school was established in 1819. Spa status was officially granted in 1836, and a colonnade was built in 1847. Further development continued with new buildings and improved transport connections.
After 1992, the spa underwent modernization while preserving its historic 19th-century character. Today, Lázně Libverda is known for the treatment of cardiovascular and musculoskeletal disorders.
