Poland - Nałęczów
Received from Dominika (private swap) of Poland.
This is from Wikipedia : Nałęczów [naˈwɛnt͡ʂuf] is a spa town (population 4,800) situated on the Nałęczów Plateau in Poland's Lublin Province. In the 18th century, the discovery there of healing waters initiated the development of a health resort; mainly treated are circulatory disorders.
Notable landmarks include the 18th-century baroque-classicist Małachowski Palace (1771-73, since remodeled) and a park and resort complex dating from the 18th-19th centuries.
Nałęczów was the favorite vacationing place of novelist Bolesław Prus for three decades from 1882 till his death in 1912. It features museums devoted to Prus and to novelist Stefan Żeromski, a fellow Nałęczów habitué whose literary career Prus generously furthered.
Sister cities are: Berlin-Steglitz (GER), Nyircsad (HUN), Trencianske Teplice (SVK), Longueau (FRA) and Siergieyevka (UKR).
