It is where Szeklers come to visit Orbán Balázs's grave, and it has a small mineral water museum.
About the place
The springs are recorded from 1766. In 1871 Orbán Balázs (1829–1890) bought the baths, modernised them and built warm baths, villas and a restaurant. At his own wish he was buried here. Only the caretaker's house survives from the old spa; the other buildings were pulled down in 1941 when the road was built.
From 1972 the Haáz Rezső Museum began to set up a row of carved Szekler gates around the grave. By the road stands the Mineral Water Museum (Borvízmúzeum), opened in 2009 and redesigned in 2021, with texts in three languages and the buffalo cart that once carried Seiche water into town. The Seiche spring has mineral water with a faint taste of petroleum, which locals still drink.
