The Historic Brewery in Żywiec

Żywiec

The Żywiec Archducal Brewery is one of the most famous and successful producers of beer in Poland. The history of the plant began in the mid-nineteenth century, when the decision was taken by Archduke Albrecht Friedrich Habsburg, the then owner of Żywiec to build a brewery. Many of the original brewery buildings have been preserved to this day. They were designed by Karol Pietschka. The Żywiec Brewery Museum astounds with modern solutions, where we will learn the history of the plant and the process of beer production.

The Palace of the Habsburgs in Żywiec

Żywiec

The palace of the Habsburgs in Żywiec, also called the New Castle, now houses the Forestry and Lumber Technology School Complex. The neo-Classicist palace was built at the initiative of Archduke Albrecht Friedrich Rudolf von Habsburg in the years 1885 to 1895. His son, Karol Stefan, who decided to settle here permanently, initiated the Żywiec line of the Habsburgs. The Żywiec Habsburgs went down very positively in Polish history - also fighting the white and red flag.

Żywiec Lake

Tresna

Żywiec Lake was created by the damming of the Soła river in the 60s of the last century whose valley was divided by a dam. The southern end of the lake, located within the Żywiecka Valley, almost reaches the area of downtown Żywiec. The northern part of the lake (in the vicinity of the dam) occupies a narrow valley, cutting into the slopes of the Little Beskids. The Żywiec reservoir is used for producing energy, flood control and tourism and recreation.

Mount Żar

Międzybrodzie Żywieckie

Mount Żar is a popular tourist destination. It is located in the Little Beskid. The peak rises to 761 m. above sea leve over steep, wooded slopes dominating over Międzybrockie Lake. On the artificially flattened top there is a water reservoir, which is part of the pumped-storage hydroelectricity, which was put to use in 1979. The reservoir is 650 meters long and 250 meters long, with the maximum depth of 28 meters. Its volume is 2 310 000 cubic meters.

Milówka

The Museum "Stara Chałupa" (Old Hut) in Milówka

Milówka

Milówka is a popular summer resort. It lies in the valley of the Soła river, on the border of the Silesian Beskids and the city of Żywiec. In Milówka, on the Wooden Architecture Trail of the Silesia province, there is an old wooden cottage with an original furnishing. This "Old Cottage" is a typical example of traditional architecture building characteristic for the land of Żywiec. Besides, it is one of the oldest buildings in the region. Legend has it that the Polish kings were staying here, including John Casimir escaping the Swedes and John III Sobieski on the way to Vienna.

The Church of The Assumption of the Virgin Mary in Milówka

Milówka

The village of Milówka was for the first time mentioned in 1537. The origins of the village are related to both the Polish settlement (which from the lowlands up moved into these valleys, including the Sola river valley), as well as the settlement of the Wallachians, who reached the Beskid area from the east, along the arc of the Carpathians. The local, brick church was built in the 30s of the nineteenth century. It was erected on the site of a former wooden building dated from the seventeenth century.
