The mineral springs of Janské Koupele were already known in 1640. At that time the springs were part of the estate of Melč (Meltsch) and hence were called Meltscher Bad. The first bathing facilities were built in 1755 by the Order of the Jesuits, then owners of Melč castle. The name Johannisbrunn came into use in 1808 when Count Johann Tenczin owned the estate. The first stone building for the spa was built in 1851. The flourishing period of the spa began after 1895 when the ownership passed to Count Camillo Razumovsky. Today, Janské Koupele is part of the municipality of Staré Těchanovice (Altzechsdorf).
