history

Rychwałd is one of the oldest villages in the Saybuscher Basin.

The place was first mentioned as the church Lichtinwalth in the Peterspfennigregister of the year 1335 in the dean's office Auschwitz of the diocese of Krakow . Later it was also mentioned as Lichtenwald (1346-1358), Rythwald / Rychwald (1470-1480). The name is of German origin: Reich / Reh / riechender + Wald ( Deutsche Ostsiedlung ?).

Politically, the village originally belonged to the Duchy of Auschwitz , which existed from 1315 during the period of Polish particularism . Since 1327 consisted fiefdom of the Kingdom of Bohemia . The area of Żywiec with the village was separated from the Duchy of Auschwitz in the 1450s under unexplained circumstances. From 1465 it finally belonged to Poland.

During the first partition of Poland , Rychwałd came to the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire in 1772 (from 1804).

In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Rychwałd came to Poland. This was only interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II .

From 1975 to 1998 Rychwałd belonged to the Bielsko-Biała Voivodeship .
