The Church of St. Martin was built in the 15th century on the foundations of an older church and given a Baroque makeover in the 18th century. Kuća Kirinić is the oldest secular residential building in Varaždinske Toplice and dates from 1526. The original floor plan of the rooms, as well as the late Gothic rooms in the basement and ground floor, have been fully preserved. The Chapel of the Holy Spirit has been mentioned since 1497, was reconstructed in 1649, and is surrounded by a defensive wall with preserved loopholes.

The Konstantinov dom building dates from 1779. After the fire of 1779, the Kaptol built a stone bathhouse called Konstantinova kupelj. The historic building of Konstantinov dom once housed a café and, on the upper floor, a Kursalon used for balls and concerts.
