Lipik, Hrvatska

Kursalon je naupečatljivija građevina Lipika. Sagrađena je krajem 19. stoljeća i od tada je simbol Lipika i najslikaniji motiv grada. Kursalon je bio sinonim za zabavu, razonodu i kulturu. Ciljano sagrađen radi gostiju u kupalištu Lipik označuje novi uzlet lipičkog turizma i najljepše doba Lipika.

Razlog za gradnju Kursalona i pratećih objekata je bila sve veća posjećenost Kupališta i nedostatna zabavna ponuda Lipika. Lipik je imao uzletni smjer razvoja turizma, sve više ljudi se upoznaje sa blagodatima geotermalne vode, povećava se zanimanje za Lipik.

Lipik se povezuje prugom sa Mađarskom i Austrijom te postaje moderno odmaralište. Da bi se zadovoljila potražnja inozemnih gostiju i proširila ponuda zdravstvenog turizma gradi se Kursalon, Wandelban i uređuje se perivoj.

Kursalon je u to doba bio jedna od najljepših zgrada u Slavoniji. Zgrada je imala mnoštvo dvorana s različitom ponudom, sadržavala je kavanu, lječilišnu dvoranu, veliko predvorje te ugostiteljski dio.

I danas se o Kursalon vodi briga, u ostacima Kursalona se održavaju manja kulturna događanja.
Svakako je vrijedno posjetiti Kursalon i osjetiti duh prošlosti iz prve ruke, uz priče domaćina.
