The current colonnade, which was opened in 1930, was built according to plans by local architect Oskar Sgustav. The Natalie Spring is one of the three "eastern springs" that were tapped in 1878 specifically for the purposes of the Imperial Spa that was built at that time. It was later named after the Serbian Queen Natalie, who visited Franzensbad in 1880. From the 19th century onwards, its water was bottled and exported to Europe and overseas. In 1900, its mineral water, along with the spa itself, received the highest award at the World Exhibition in Paris. [Source: Franziskovy laszne. info]
