My adventure in Poland took me to a great 18th century baroque-classicist Malachowski palace. Situated in a spa town called Naleczow, it hosts a museum of a well-known Polish novelist, Boleslaw Prus.
His sculpture sits in a lush garden, near the palace.
The palace was designed by a royal architect Ferdynand Nax in 1771-1775.
The ballroom is very impressive, and is used by locals today for weddings and other special occasions. After 1778 the discovery of healing waters initiated the development of Naleczow as a health resort, and put the palace on a map.
Today, the palace, the gardens and resort complex are visited by thousands, but it doesn`t feel crowdy. On contrary, I found its provincial, sleepy atmosphere very relaxing.
Outside, I bought some sensational semi-precious jewellery, from a local trader. I am wearing a dress by Michael Kors, a snake-skin handbag from Emilio Pucci, and sunglasses from Dolce & Gabbana.
All in all, a great day out!
