Bánovce nad Bebravou – Culture, Thermal Spa and Hotels

In Bánovce nad Bebravou, cultural and historical heritage, the Pažiť thermal spa, and a landscape of forests, meadows, fields, and orchards come together. The town lies in the valley of the Bebrava River at the foot of the Strážov Mountains, at an elevation of 216 meters.

Nature

The surroundings of Bánovce nad Bebravou include beech, oak, and pine forests. Meadows, fields, and orchards are also part of the landscapes around the town. As a result, different types of natural areas exist side by side in the immediate surroundings, while the town retains its clear geographical location in the Bebrava Valley.

Wellness and Water

The Pažiť thermal spa has a children’s pool, a relaxation pool, and a swimming pool. The thermal water from the spa’s spring initially has a temperature of 43 °C and is cooled to 29–30 °C before being used to fill the pools. Beach volleyball can be played on fine sand at the thermal spa.

The swimming pool offers opportunities for water polo, swimming competitions, and other water sports activities. In addition to its various types of pools, the spa therefore also accommodates sports-oriented uses that are clearly distinct from the tranquil relaxation pool.

Culture and History

The monument to Ľudovít Štúr was created in 1936 by academic sculptor Jozef Pospíšil and is considered the first and largest monument to Štúr in Slovakia. The Janko Jesenský Memorial House commemorates the house at 19/569 Jesenského Street, where Jesenský lived and worked from 1905 to 1914. The memorial house also features a commemorative plaque with a bronze bust by academic sculptor M. Tomášek.

The former synagogue was built in 1862 in the Historicist style on Jesenského Street and is now used as an Evangelical church of the Augsburg Confession. The Church of Saint Nicholas has a brick pulpit from the Renaissance period, dating to the late 17th century.

The Church of the Holy Trinity was built in 1803 in the Neoclassical style. A valuable wooden nativity scene was acquired for this church in 1929; it was created by the woodcarver B. Reka from Kutná Hora.
