With a long and fascinating history, Sturebadet is a well-known spa with an opulent setting. Opened in 1885, Sturebadet was created by doctor Carl Curman, a specialist in balneology, the science of bathing as a medical treatment. His dream was to give visitors what they so desperately needed - bathing, exercise and better health. Sturebadet is an architectural gem and an important part of Stockholm's cultural history.
