With history going back to the 13th century, it is a site of the gothic Cistercian Rudy Palace-Monastery. There is also a narrow gauge railway station and museum in the village.

Rudy gives its name to the protected area called Rudy Landscape Park (in full: "Landscape Park of the Cistercian Landscape Compositions of Rudy Wielkie").

History

In the early 13th century a monastery was founded at the site, however, it was destroyed in the First Mongol invasion of Poland in 1241. The Cistercians rebuilt the monastery in 1252–1255. A foundation document was issued by Duke Władysław Opolski of the Polish Piast dynasty in 1258, and it was confirmed by Pope Gregory X in 1274. The Cistercians developed the village. In the early 14th century, Duke Przemysław of Racibórz funded the construction of a new church (present-day Basilica) in Rudy.

During World War II, the Germans established and operated three forced labour subcamps (E374, E588, E742) of the Stalag VIII-B/344 prisoner-of-war camp in the village. [2] In the final stages of the war, in 1945, a German-conducted death march of prisoners of a subcamp of the Auschwitz concentration camp in Sosnowiec passed through the village towards Opava. [3]

The local football team is LKS Buk Rudy. [4] It competes in the lower leagues.
