The Kurpark is the center of the town, a beautiful park with historic spa architecture.
If you are looking for the center of Bad Oeynhausen, you will find the Kurpark. Where elsewhere a market square with a town hall and church forms the center of a town, in Bad Oeynhausen there is this green oasis of around 26 hectares, laid out in the style of an English landscape park.
The spa park was laid out between 1851 and 1853 according to plans by Peter Josef Lenné, the most important master gardener of his time, and has been constantly expanded. Visitors will find evidence of a glamorous and sophisticated spa and bathing world that peaked at the beginning of the 20th century. Numerous imposing buildings complement the impressive gardens. From the classicist bathhouse I, built between 1852 and 1857, to the neo-renaissance bathhouse II built in 1885, the neo-baroque spa house from 1905-1908 and the theater from 1915, the ensemble is completed by the neoclassical Wandelhalle from 1926. Several small buildings and temples round off the overall picture. Thanks to the numerous impressive buildings, the Kurpark is also known as the "architecture museum of the 19th century".
