Puchałowo is a largely abandoned village in the administrative district of Gmina Janowo, within Nidzica County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in northern Poland.[1] It lies approximately 21km (13miles) east of Nidzica and 470NaN0 south of the regional capital Olsztyn.

As a result of a decision about the expansion of the Muszaki proving ground, the population of the village was resettled and most of the village razed to the ground. Only a few houses remains, making it very similar to what is left from Ulesie, which also was largely razed to the ground as a result of the proving ground expansion.
