Among historic buildings worth visiting is the church from 1940 with antique equipment and a vicarage, palace and a granary all dating back to the 18th century.

Ryglice prospered during the reign of Casimir III the Great, but it did not receive a town charter, remaining a village.

In 1656, a skirmish between Polish and Swedish soldiers took place here, after which the local stream was called Szwedka (literally meaning Swede).

Local peasants actively participated in the Galician slaughter, murdering members of the nobility.

During World War II, Ryglice's Jewish community was murdered by the Germans in the Holocaust.
