history

The place in the country Saybusch south of Rychwałd was created in the late 16th century. In the conscription register of the district of Silesia from 1581, in addition to the Richwald parish, a separate village of the same name (later Rychwałdek) in the parish of Żywiec (Saybusch) was mentioned. In 1595 it was mentioned as Rychwałd II . From 1608 it belonged to the Ślemień domain . The name Rychwałdek, formerly also Mały Rychwałdek, is the diminutive form of the name Rychwałd.

During the first partition of Poland in 1772 the village became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire (from 1804). From 1782 it belonged to the Myslenice district (1819 with the seat in Wadowice ). After the abolition of patrimonial , it formed a municipality in the Saybusch district after 1850 .

In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Rychwałdek came to Poland. This was only interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II . It then belonged to the district of Saybusch in the administrative district of Katowice in the province of Silesia (since 1941 province of Upper Silesia ).

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