History and culture
It lies in the Sudetes approximately 20 kilometres (12 mi) south-east of Kłodzko, and 88 kilometres (55 mi) south of the regional capital Wrocław. As of 2019, the town has a population of 5,572.
A picturesque spa town with rich historical architecture ranging from Gothic to Renaissance and Baroque, numerous sanatoriums, parks and gardens, including an arboretum, considered one of the oldest spa towns in Poland. Located within the historic Kłodzko Land, it was granted town rights in 1282 by Duke of Wrocław and future High Duke of Poland Henryk IV Probus of the Piast dynasty.
Lądek-Zdrój became famous in Poland because of Stanisław Bareja's cult film Teddy Bear (Miś).
In 1949–1950 Greeks and Macedonians, refugees of the Greek Civil War, were temporarily admitted in Lądek-Zdrój, before new homes were found for them in other towns.[2]
Each year, the town is host to the Andrzej Zawada mountain film festival.
