Żywiec and above all the Castle Park in autumn. In the film you will see the park attractions as well as a small part of Żywiec, a city located in southern Poland in the Żywiec Basin, at the confluence of the Soła and Koszarawa rivers. The first mention of the Żywicz parish dates back to 1308 and took place in the Peter's Pence census of the Kraków Diocese. Żywiec does not have a location act, and the date of its foundation is specified in the period 1290-1310. Żywiec received city rights in 1327, in 1518 trade privileges, in 1537 the right to produce malt for beer, in 1579 the right to store. The 16th and 17th centuries were the best period for the city, during which it became a wealthy and rich trade center. The shape and city attire, especially women's, full of splendor, lace and satin, carry echoes of this period. Traces of former wealth and pride can also be seen in the folk names of the inhabitants: the townspeople who had lived in Żywiec for generations were called putosze, from the word puta, or pride. The city at that time had a distinctly Polish character; Jews or Roma, and even Poles who could not boast of wealth, were not allowed to settle within its borders. Instead, they lived in the areas around Żywiec, later incorporated into the city limits as districts, such as Zabłocie or Sporysz.
