history

The family was first mentioned in documents with Olechno Rymsza, who received confirmation from Sigismund I on June 21, 1521 that he had bought the Mechanowitschi estate in the Nowogródek Voivodeship . Penczy, the ancestral estate of the family, was also located there. It was already owned by the family in 1529 and remained with the Rymsza until 1825. Jan Olechnowicz Rymsza was from January 3, 1552 to September 27, 1554 city magistrate of Vilna and from June 22, 1552 to September 27, 1554 standard bearer of the Oszmiana district in the Vilnius Voivodeship . Jerzy Rymsza, from February 9, 1699, was titular subordinate of Starodub , Smolensk Voivodeship and Jan Aleksander Rymsza († after 1737) was a table cutter in the Brasław district in the Vilnius Voivodeship from 1716 to 1731 , from February 7, 1724 to April 5, 1729 Titular Burgrichter and from 1731 to June 10, 1737 also deputy titular Starost of Starodub.
