Rajcza, Administrative division in Żywiec County, Poland
Rajcza functions as the seat of an administrative district within the Silesian Voivodeship, positioned along the Soła river near the Slovakian border point.
Queen Constance of Austria, wife of King Sigismund III Vasa, established ownership of this settlement during the first half of the 17th century within Kraków Voivodeship.
The Palace of Karol Stefan Habsburg and the Parish Church of St. Lawrence from 1890 represent the architectural achievements of different periods in Rajcza.
The village maintains a rail station connecting Żywiec to the Polish-Slovakian border, located 22 kilometers south of Żywiec and 83 kilometers from Katowice.
In 1940, during Action Saybusch, German authorities displaced 115 Polish families, replacing them with ethnic Germans from Bucovina as part of territorial reorganization.
