history
The first mention of Reichwaldau in the Duchy of Teschen comes from the tithe list of the Diocese of Breslau from 1305.
In 1577, the owner of the estate, Bernard Barsky von Barště, had the Starý Dvůr chateau built. In 1595 the Church of St. Anna was built.
Until the 19th century, Reichwaldau was a purely farming village, which was transformed into a miners' settlement due to the coal mining in the area. In the second half of the 19th century the castle was rebuilt.
After the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy , Reichwaldau was assigned to Poland when the Teschener Land was divided up in 1918, and after the end of the Polish-Czechoslovak border war , the town became part of Czechoslovakia in 1920 . After the Munich Agreement , the Polish army occupied Rychvald on October 11, 1938. On September 1, 1939, the Wehrmacht followed and until May 1, 1945, Reichwaldau belonged to the German district of Teschen .
In 1945 the lord of the castle Georg Starhemberg was expropriated. Rychvald has been a town since 1985. Starý Dvůr Castle is currently in a very dilapidated condition.
