History
The medicinal properties of the mineral springs of Szejkefürdő were known as early as the 18th century. In the second half of the next century, between 1871 and 1890, the spa and its grounds were owned by Orbán Balázs and were a favourite residence of his. Its centre was the twenty-four-tub hot bath using the waters of the Attila spring, and the associated cold-water pool. Villas, or as they were called, apartments were built near the bath. The death of Orbán Balázs, however, put an end to the small spa's prosperity. A 268 m2, two-storey, wooden exhibition building was built between 2004 and 2008 on the north side of the bath (next to County Road 13A). Its purpose is to house an exhibition on the soda springs and spas of Székelyföld.
