Day spa in the 1912 bathhouse · Freiburg

Heat, water and an hour where nobody needs you.

A cedar sauna at 90 °C, a steam bath, a pool under the old glass roof - and treatments that start on the minute and never run over. Every treatment of 45 minutes or more includes the bathhouse for the day.

The bathhouse

Six rooms, from 12 to 90 degrees

The city built the bathhouse in 1912 for people without a bathroom. We kept the tiles, the glass roof and the order: hot, then cold, then rest.
