Zinke Villa
Zinke Villa holds great importance for Lipik and its citizens. As early as the 19th century, Lipik became a preferred tourist destination of rich Austro-Hungarian nobles who sought rest on its hot springs abundant in beneficial minerals. After its devastation in the Croatian War of Independence, only ruins of the villa remain as a reminder of its former splendour. The Terme Lipik Project plans to build the Lipik Interpretation Centre of Thermal Springs Heritage – The Villa of Good Water, in which the historical heritage of Lipik will be presented through museum permanent and temporary exhibitions, an entertainment room and accompanying educational activities.
Public baths
The centuries-old tradition of spa tourism in Lipik is first and foremost founded on the healing properties of the local thermal water, which has a constant spring temperature of 60°C. At the beginning of the 20th century, Lipik was one of the most popular European health resorts, with its Public Baths as the focal point and the oldest health resort in the landscaped public garden. The Terme Lipik Project also includes the reconstruction of the Public Baths as a sort of a central place and an interpretation point where the properties of thermo-mineral water and the Lipik Thermal Spa will be presented, as a continuation of the presentation of the interpretive content of the Villa of Good Water.
Spa Garden
Lipik’s Spa Garden forms part of the urban and architectural ensemble of the historical health retreat from the second half of the 19th and the early 20th century. In 1965, the Spa Garden was included in the Register of Protected Natural Objects, and in 1980 the urban ensemble of Lipik entered the Register of Immovable Cultural Monuments. The steady development of the health retreat and town continued until the war in 1991, when the landscaped public garden was also almost completely devastated. The Terme Lipik Project will revitalize and restore the Spa Garden, which will thoroughly change the look of Lipik.
