The Kurhaus and its casino

Since its construction in the mid-19th century, Baden-Baden's Kurhaus has established itself as one of the city's most emblematic and most visited buildings. Over the years, the Kurhaus was extended and modernised to meet the municipality's entertainment and leisure needs. In 1901, a theatre was added to the building, followed by a concert hall in 1924. Both of these facilities are still in use today, as is a casino renowned throughout Europe.

As well as being a tourist attraction, the Kurhaus is an important venue for German culture. Since its creation, it has been a meeting place for many of the country's most important historical figures, including writers, musicians and artists.

The building itself is also a magnificent example of nineteenth-century German architecture. With its neoclassical and Art Nouveau elements, the Kurhaus is a remarkable testimony to Germany's architectural heritage, attracting many enthusiasts every day.

Finally, the Kurhaus is also a symbol of Germany's political and cultural history. During the Second World War, it was used as a reception centre for refugees and wounded soldiers. After the war, it was rebuilt and has continued to serve as a gathering place for visitors from all over the world.

The Kurhaus regularly hosts events of all kinds, from concerts (classical music and jazz) to plays and musicals. A list of forthcoming events is available on the venue's website, so be sure to book in advance!

In summer, the Kurhaus is the venue for numerous open-air events, including free concerts, dance performances and wine-tasting evenings. In winter, the inner courtyard is transformed into an ice rink for the enjoyment of children and adults alike.

The Kurhaus casino also organises special evenings with entertainment and shows to keep visitors entertained. Poker and roulette tournaments are also held regularly.

Located in the heart of the Kurhaus, the Baden-Baden Casino is one of Europe's oldest and most famous casinos. Renowned for its elegant ambience and fascinating history, it was built in 1824 to cater for visitors looking for a place to be entertained and play games of chance.

Over the years, the casino has undergone many changes and extensions, but has remained true to its elegant style and exclusive ambience. Today, the casino offers a variety of table games such as blackjack, roulette and poker, as well as modern slot machines.

To the delight of shopaholics, Kurhaus is surrounded by great shopping addresses, with a wide variety of fashion and souvenir shops. Visitors can find luxury items such as jewellery, handbags, shoes and clothing.

🍴 The Kurhaus area is also home to several restaurants and cafés, offering a variety of dishes and drinks to satisfy visitors' every taste and culinary craving. Located in the main building, the Kurhaus Eismanufaktur offers a wide selection of ice creams to cool down in the summer season.
