Eugen Suchoň lived in this Spa in the 1940s; here he began the folkloristic opera Krútňava and added greatly to the local musical life.
In 2006 this opera was performed in the Dom Umenia (House of the Arts). In the same year he became a honorary citizen of the town and a commemorative tablet by Roman Hrčka was unveiled.
