Ryczywół, Masovian Voivodeship, Rural settlement in Gmina Kozienice, Poland.
Ryczywół is a village in Gmina Kozienice situated along National Road 79, which connects Warsaw to Bytom. The settlement sits where the Radomka and Vistula rivers meet, shaping its geographical position.
King Władysław Jagiełło granted the settlement town rights in 1409, allowing it to develop as a trade center. Through the 15th and 16th centuries, this position brought growth and commercial activity to the area.
The name comes from Polish words meaning 'bellow' and 'ox', reflecting the livestock herds that once traveled through this rural area.
The village is directly accessible from Warsaw via National Road 79, making it easy to reach for visitors from the capital. This main road connection simplifies travel planning for those exploring the region.
The entire village was relocated to higher ground in 1813 due to repeated flooding from the neighboring rivers. This major relocation event left a lasting mark on the community's story and identity.
