Rychwałd is a beautifully situated village. It
lies amid not too high Beskid hills (near
Żywiec, in the commune of Gilowice).

Rychwałd is a village situated near Żywiec. It lies in a
picturesque mountainous area of the Pewelski Range,

In the north-eastern part of Żywiec, on the edge of the district called Moszczanica, there is manor complex, whose major part is a building dating from 1828. In 1934, a few months before his death, Marshal Józef Pilsudski visited the manor house. In recent years, there have been many ideas how to revitalize the object, which after years of the communist regime and several changes of its purpose, is in not in good state of preservation.

The Church of Saint Andrew in Gilowice, in the district of Żywiec, until the mid-eighteenth century, stood in Żywiec in the village of Rychwałd, known today as the Marian shrine. The construction of the temple was completed in 1545, and it was consecrated in 1547 by Bishop Erasmus Ciołek. The founder of the church was probably Krzysztof Komorowski. In 1756, this church was moved to Gilowice, where it was added to the tower, which had stood here before.
"Grapa" is a forest reserve within the administrative
