Rise of the City
From the second half of the 18th century, the Teplice city and spa are linked to a new noble family, the Clary – Aldringens, who gained the estate after the murder of Vilem of Vchynice and Albrecht of Wallenstein. It was this noble family that is credited for development of the spa and the entire city. During their leadership, the spa became known worldwide and famous around Europe. New spa buildings were constructed, parks were expanded and the city was visited by exceptional clients, such as monarchs like Czar Peter I in the autumn of 1712 or Saxon Electors who continued to visit the spas shortly after the end of the Thirty Years War, and renowned scientists and philosophers such as G.W.Leibnitzand others.
