The first mentions of the healing effects of the mineral spring in Rajecké Teplice date back to the past. The ruler of the nearby Lietavské panstvo, Juraj Turzo, had the first Kúpeľný dom built here as early as 1610. His friends, whom he invited here, met and recreated here. After his death, the spa was closed and the property distributed among the heirs. The spa was restored only in the 18th century, when lords from the imperial Viennese court began to meet here. During this period, the railway on the Rajec - Žilina line was also built, which passed through Rajecké Teplice and supplied them at the same time.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the spa came under the judicial administration of Ladislav Hauser, who later bought it as an administrator. He established a school for children from Teplice here so they would not have to commute far. The first spa doctor, MUDr. Rudolf Flamm, also worked here, providing treatment to local residents for free.
