The Karczma „Rzym” is a historic wooden inn dating back to the early 18th century, standing proudly on the market square in Sucha Beskidzka. It's a fascinating stop for anyone curious about local architecture — and about the legend attached to it, claiming this is where Pan Twardowski once met the Devil himself.
The building impresses with its massive log construction and steep, four-sided shingle roof. At the front, wooden arcades with an openwork balustrade give it a distinctive character — especially charming in autumn, when low sunlight highlights the texture of the aged wood, or in winter, when snow settles on the shingles. Sucha Beskidzka sits surrounded by the Beskid Mały and Beskid Makowski ranges, making it easy to combine a visit here with a walk through the nearby hills.
How to get thereThe inn's name refers to a folk legend about Pan Twardowski, the Polish Faust-like figure, who is said to have struck his fateful bargain with the Devil right here.
