The spa belongs to the three world famous spa in the west Bohemia. These ones were founded in 1793. They are named after the emperor Franz I. He was the Napoleon's father - in law. The town was exactly built according to the plan - the prescribed height of the buildings, their design and the colour of fronts. The result of this plan is a unique and urban whole which is completed by parks and wood-parks on the area of 200 ha.
The town Františkovy Lázně was proclaimed as a reservation of historical monuments. There spring 21 mineral sources here. The most famous of them is František (Francis Spring) source. The present Francis Spring became the most known spring north of the town Cheb as early as the Middle Ages. After its curative effects were discovered by doctors the spring aroused great interest and became a source of income for so-called water carriers, who were Cheb?s women and children. The oldest preserved record of the acidulous water is from the year 1406. The aristocracy subsequently became interested in the water and its curative effects. For instance, there is a written record that the Empress Ann had the waters delivered to Prague.
After the Thirty Years? War the town council of Cheb built a bottling house (1661), an inn, and a bathroom almost on top of the spring. In 1714 there was an inn and spa under one roof with 14 baths and 12 guestrooms. The foundation of the spa was initiated by a Cheb citizen and doctor, Dr. Bernhard Adler (1753-1810). The first ground plan of the spa was designed by Father Gruber, a doctor from Bílina. On April 27, 1793 his plans were approved by a court decree of the new emperor Francis I.
Construction of the spa began almost immediately. The first buildings of the future spa, including the Francis spring pavilion and the Cultural House, were erected and by the end of 1794 ten more houses were built by Father Gruber. They were mainly built along the main street ?Národní třída?, which was to become the main promenade and the centre of social life in Františkovy lázně.
In the beginning of 19th century the spa?s surroundings changed greatly. The alleys for horsemen skirting the main street became streets lined by parks. The French parks were turned into English parks and so the spa was given another essential part of its unique character. The construction of the spa lasted roughly until 1890 and has retained its form since that time. Later on some buildings were modernised and extended.
