Bārbeles sēravots tiek dēvēts par vienu no pirmajām kūrvietām Latvijā, proti, jau ap 1650. gadu hercoga Jēkaba valdīšanas laikā sēravota tuvumā uzbūvēta vannu māja, dēvēta par mazo ūdensdziednīcu, kuru vēlāk arī apmeklējuši visi Kurzemes-Zemgales hercogi. 1739. gadā Rīgas garnizona ārsts Benjamins Teofils Grofs uz Bārbeles sēravotu nosūtījs 10 ievainotus un smagi slimus karavīrus, kas sirguši ar dažādām kaitēm - pēc Bārbeles sēravota vannām karavīri atveseļojušies.

Avota ūdeni izmantojuši gan apkārtējie zemnieki, gan muižnieki, gan augstmaņi no Jelgavas. Avotā slimnieki peldējušies, aptriepušies ar dūņām, no tā sagatavotas arī siltās vannas. Tāpat ūdens tika izmantots iekšķīgai lietošanai. Bārbeles sēravots dziedinājis ne tikai skorbutu, locītavu un krustu sāpes, artrītu, pietūkumu, bet arī venēriskās slimības-sifilisu, nervu kaites un daudzas citas slimības.

19. gs. avota ūdenī samazinājās sērūdeņraža koncentrācija. Neskatoties uz to, 20. gs. 20. gados šeit vēl aizvien darbojās vannu māja, tika uzbūvēts arī neliels vasarnīcu rajons, ierīkots deju laukums un parks, kūrorts tolaik tika plaši apmeklēts. Diemžēl, kūrorta noriets seko pēc Otrā Pasaules kara, kad to noposta un vairs neatjauno.

Šobrīd par savulaik tik ļoti apmeklēto un nozīmīgo kūrvietu, dēvētu par pirmo kūrortu Latvijā, var tikai iztēloties. Atrodoties pie sēravota, tā laika liecības iezīmējas pēdējās vannu mājas ēkas pamatu drupās, stalti liecinieki arī koki – glabājot sevī savulaik pieredzēto.

Sēravota apkārtnē ierīkota atpūtas vieta, informatīvs stends, kurā var aplūkot senākas fotogrāfijas un detalizētāk iepazīties ar kūrorta vēsturi. Tāpat ierīkota laipa, no kuras apmeklētāji var pasmelt avota ūdeni.
