Summary
editDescriptionCiechocinek 2023 33.jpg |
English: Ciechocinek is a spa town in Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, north-central Poland, located on the Vistula River. It is known for its unique saline graduation towers and experts have considered the local iodine-rich saline springs to be of extreme value, naming thermal spring #14 "a wonder of nature". The therapeutic qualities of these springs are directed toward curing cardiovascular, respiratory, orthopedic, traumatic, rheumatic, nervous system and female conditions.
The history of Ciechocinek dates back to the ‘Middle Ages’. It belonged to the Kingdom of Poland until the Second Partition of Poland in 1793, when it was annexed by Prussia. In 1807 it became part of the short-lived Polish Duchy of Warsaw, and in 1815 it became part of Congress Poland, initially autonomous within the Russian Empire, from 1844 on as part of the Warsaw Governorate. When Wieliczka and Bochnia, towns rich in salt deposits, fell in the First Partition of Poland to Austria, the salt resources of Ciechocinek and nearby Słońsk drew the attention of Polish officials. On the initiative of Stanisław Staszic, a salt extraction project was created. The development of the spa plant and health resort in Ciechocinek dates back to 1836. The three grduation towers built by Staszic extend more than two kilometres and are essentially huge wooden frames filled with thorny brushwood which, washed with brine, accumulate salt crystals as much of the water evaporates. The resultant mineral-rich water droplets in the air are regarded as having beneficial health effects similar to that of breathing in sea air. In 1867 Ciechocinek gained a railway connection with Bydgoszcz and Warsaw. The rapid development and popularity among guests from home and abroad contributed to the granting of town rights in 1916.
