Nałęczów is a spa town (population 4,800) in Poland's Lublin Voivodeship (province), situated on the Nałęczów Plateau. The 18th-century discovery of healing waters initiated the development of a health resort; chiefly treated there are circulatory disorders.
Notable landmarks include the 18th-century baroque-classicist Małachowski Palace (1771-1773, since remodeled) and a park and resort complex dating from the 18th-19th centuries.
Nałęczów was the favorite vacationing place of Bolesław Prus for three decades from 1882 till his death. It features museums devoted to Prus and to Stefan Żeromski, a fellow Nałęczów habitué whose literary career Prus generously furthered.
