The sandstone statue of the Emperor and Bohemian King Charles IV in the park in front of the Imperial Spa is only about seventy years old. The sculptor Otakar Švec created it in 1955. It shows the crowned monarch in a long cloak. In his left hand he holds a model of a house, in his right a sceptre. On the front there is an inscription in Czech. The text is repeated on the right side in Latin and on the left side in Russian.

The representative spa house in a contemporary, fashionable architectural style was built between 1893 and 1895 according to a project by the famous Viennese architect duo Ferdinand Fellner and Hermann Helmer on the site of the former municipal brewery in the southern part of Karlovy Vary. On May 5, 1895, the building was officially opened with the laying of the last stone. At that time, the Imperial Spa was a sophisticated spa house with the most modern spa operation in the entire dual monarchy.
