In 1837, a few business-minded entrepreneurs decided to rebuild a lonely tavern near the beach into a bathing establishment, thus preparing the ground for the development of the resort of Prnu. This wooden building was the predecessor of the present-day mud baths. The establishment, which was opened in 1838, accommodated 5-6 bathrooms that provided hot seawater baths in summer and operated as a sauna in winter. The wooden building was burnt down in the course of World War I. In 1927, the present stone building of Prnu Mud Baths was erected at the same site. Later, the wings were attached to the building to accommodate a bath unit and a pool.
Today, disorders of joints, spinal column and peripheral nervous system, gynaecological problems and dysfunction of central nervous system are treated at Prnu Mud Baths. The therapies include hydrotherapy, mud and ozocerite therapies, massage, laser and electrotherapies, lymph and inhalation therapies, aromatherapy and ECG. There are 130 rooms in the hotel of the Mud Baths.
