Rajcza

The settlement spans across the Żywiec Beskids mountains at 500 meters elevation, with the Soła River flowing through its center near the Slovak border.

The village originated in the first half of the 17th century under Queen Constance of Austria's rule, featuring a folwark administrative center in Węgierska Górka.

The Parish Church of St. Lawrence, constructed in 1890, stands as a central religious monument representing the architectural heritage of Rajcza.

The railway station provides direct connections to Żywiec and Cadca, making it accessible for visitors from both Poland and Slovakia.

The Palace of Karol Stefan Habsburg functioned as a military hospital during World War I and remains a testament to the region's aristocratic past.
