The Rzym Inn is one of the first things to catch your eye on the Market Square in Sucha Beskidzka. It dates back to the 18th century and owes some of its fame to the legend of Pan Twardowski.
Built at the behest of the then-owner of these lands, Count Branicki, it was located at the confluence of the routes to Podhale, Żywiec, Wadowice and Kraków. The Rzym Inn in Sucha Beskidzka is a wooden, single-storey building from the mid-18th century. It is one of the most valuable of the preserved examples of traditional wooden architecture in the Podbeskidzie region. The emblem of the inn, the 'horse painted on canvas', remains from the horse fairs held in the town at the time. The name is probably linked to the inn located on the amber route, leading from Gdańsk through Slovakia to Italy and the Black Sea. It might have been while wandering along this trail that Adam Mickiewicz visited an inn one day, and it was here that the idea of a ballad about the clever noblewoman Twardowska came to him. The décor draws on the traditions of the Podbabiogórze region; the menu includes old Polish and regional dishes perfected over the centuries by cooks busy with pots and pans atop coal-fired stoves The restaurant can accommodate more than 180 people at a time.
