The construction of the Király Baths (Budapest, District II, Fő u. 84) was started by Arslan, the Pasha of Buda, in 1565, and completed by his successor Sokoli Mustafa. It did not and does not have its own direct supply of thermal water as the Turks built the baths some distance from the springs within the city walls to ensure bathing could continue in the event of a siege. The water was fed from the neighbourhood of the Lukács Baths, as it still is today. A century after the end of Turkish rule, the baths came into the ownership of the König family in 1796, who rebuilt it to its present form, combining the old with the new while preserving its original character. The name of the König family in Hungarian (király), which means king, was adopted by the baths. The baths, which were damaged in the Second World War, were fully restored in 1950. There are 4 pools for public use. The thermal water contains sodium, calcium, magnesium, hydrocarbonate and sulphate chloride, and also has high fluoride ion content. It is recommended for the treatment of degenerative joint diseases, chronic and sub-acute arthritis, discus hernia, spinal deformity, neuralgia, skeletal calcium deficiency and post-accident rehabilitation.
