Trinkhalle

Trinkhalle, pump house in the Kurhaus spa complex in Baden-Baden, Germany.

Standing proud above a manicured park, this neoclassical pump room was built in 1839 as an attractive addition to the Kurhaus. The 90m-long Trinkhalle portico is embellished with 19th-century frescos of local legends. Baden-Baden’s elixir of youth, some say, is the free curative mineral water that gushes from a faucet linked to the Friedrichsbad spring.
