Bycina lies in the commune of Rudziniec, in the district of Gliwice. The name of the village comes from grazing bulls, and the first mention of it dates from 1263. At the end of the seventeenth century, a magnificent late baroque palace was built in Bycina. Thanks to its location on a hill, the palace is visible from afar. Due to the war and the communist times unfavorable to such monuments, the palace is now much devastated.
