Lądek Zdrój is one of the oldest health resorts in Poland and perhaps in Europe. According to the record found in Kłodzko Chronicle, the first message concerning the bathing activities in this place comes from 1325. Around the year 1500 there was already a bath-house and the first rules regulating its usage were published. The heyday of Lądek Zdrój fell on the second half of the 19th century when new, but used till today, buildings were constructed - among them the impressive spa house "Wojciech" with swimming pool and a Roman-style pump room. The surrounding park turns into a natural forest full of interesting, picturesque paths.
Below the resort, on the bank of Bystrzyca Lądecka river, there is the old part of Lądek with marketplace surrounded by beautiful old houses. House No 1 belonged to Michael Klahr - the best-known sculptor of Kłodzko. The marketplace in Lądek is decorated by his last work - a baroque column set in honor of the Holy Trinity.
