Tychy was originally established as an agricultural settlement right in the middle of the medieval trade route between [wiki=4fc0a203041d1219cef7222fa2bb5576]Mikołów[/wiki] and [wiki=e1e8a6af504255d1f9fd74a29ab7dee2]Oświęcim[/wiki], first documented in 1467. From 1629 onward, the village began to grow, mainly due to the presence of the budding Tychy Brewery producing the town's signature "Tyskie" beer.
In 1742, Tychy was forcibly annexed by the Kingdom of Prussia during the First Silesian War with neighboring Austria, remaining territorially a part of Prussia (and later Germany) until just after the First World War. Discontent over German rule by the city's predominantly Polish population erupted into warfare between 1919 to 1921 during the Silesian Uprisings. Following a successful third revolt and brokered peace treaty, Tychy joined the Second Polish Republic in 1921.
After World War II, the city was designated by the Polish government as a non-self-sustaining city supplying adjacent Katowice. During this period, many blocks of flats and housing estates were built throughout the 1950s and 1970s.
Today, Tychy is a city is famous for its huge economic zone, its Fiat and Opel factories in the city's eastern districts, and its worldwide famous [url=http://www.tyskie.pl/]Tyskie[/url] beer.

Paprocany Lake A peaceful located in the highly-industrialized Silesian Metropolis, Paprocany Lake was originally created to cool the ironworks in adjacent Huta Paprocka, but eventually emerged as one of the most popular and romantic places in Tychy. There are several restaurants on the lakeshore.
* The old Market and St. Mary Madalene Church The first wooden church was raised by local farmers in 1480. It was subsequently rebuilt several times, the first in 1653 and again in 1655. On 3 November 1782, the new brick-built Church was consecrated, only to be destroyed four years later by a heavy storm. The refurbishment process took more than 20 years. In May 1907, shortly before the First World War and the three Silesian Uprisings, the church was extended to its current size, becoming 60 percent bigger than the original. The current church tower was built in 1929.

The district was built between 1951 and 1956 in the vicinity of the main railway station and close to the Old Town. The district is one of the only socialist realist examples in the world to be completely finished. Exactly at the centre is a cultural center that was originally patterned after the Piazza del Capidoglio in [wiki=1f49f770adc6c84629f50ce3ca2a2109]Rome[/wiki]. The buildings of the quarter are small, three storey tenements, with tile covering and are very accurate in detail (House Marks, Figures).
