rarely: not often : "not (very) often" often used in everyday English instead of saying rarely
seldom : very rarely or almost never

Seldom is more formal than rarely and is used especially in written English

(Seldom sounds rather literary. In everyday English, people usually say rarely or not very often:
ex. I seldom go there. → I don’t go there very often.) 

도치: In formal writing, seldom  can be put first, followed by an auxiliary and the subject, to emphasize that something very rarely happens: Seldom have I read an article that was so full of lies.
