Historical Background

12th - 17th Century
Early History

The first records of Rogaška Slatina’s springs date back to 1141, when they were owned by the parish of Sveti Križ. In the 17th century, the springs gained fame thanks to Count Petar Zrinski, who promoted their healing properties. Emperor Charles VI furthered the distribution of the water, spreading its popularity.

19th Century
Spa Development

In the early 19th century, Count Ferdinand Attems led efforts to develop the area into a modern spa. By 1869, Rogaška water was the third most sold water in the world, and it won a prize at the World’s Columbian Exposition in 1893. Hotels were built between 1840 and 1860, and the new Vienna-Trieste railway (1857) increased accessibility.
