Geographyedit
Teplá is located about 28 km (17 mi) south of Karlovy Vary. It lies in the Teplá Highlands, on the Teplá River. The highest point is the hill Služetínský vrch at 774 m (2,539 ft) above sea level.
The Teplá Abbey was founded in 1193 by nobleman Hroznata of Ovenec. The first written mention of the town next to the abbey is from 1197. In the 13th century, the town had strategic importance of the land gate with customs and a market and played an important role in land defense. In these times most of the villages in the neighborhood, later incorporated to the municipality, were founded.[2]
The most significant monument is the Baroque complex of the Teplá Abbey. Its oldest preserved part is the Romanesque-Gothic Church of the Annunciation of the Lord. The complex is opened to the public and serves also as a library, museum and gallery.[5]
The Gothic Church of Saint Giles in the town's centre was built on the site of the former church in 1762–1765. Its most valuable part are frescoes from scenes from the life of Saint Giles by Elias Dollhopf from 1765.[6]
The Renaissance town hall belong to the oldest buildings in the town. It was built in 1572–1574 and formerly served as a Latin school. Valuable is also the Old Town Hall, built in the Baroque style in 1698.[7]
There are three significant mineral springs in Teplá, the best of which is Oriona. Until 1945, a bottling plant stood at the source of Oriona. Now it's just a well covered with a gazebo.[8]
