Červený Kláštor is a municipality in Okres Kežmarok in Slovakia .
It is located 8 kilometers east of the town of Spišská Stará Ves on the edge of the Pieniny National Park at the confluence of the Lipník river in the Dunajec at an altitude of between 500 and 731 meters.
The Dunajec forms the border with Poland , opposite on the northern bank lies the town of Sromowce Niżne , which belongs to the municipality of Czorsztyn and is dominated by the 981.9 m high Trzy Korony (German three-crowned mountain ).
history
The place Červený Kláštor goes back to a rest stop on the trade route from the Tisza to the Vistula , first mentioned in 1344 as Uyvagas , which was located in the St. Anton valley at the monastery. In the 16th century the settlement Majer (e) (German Alte Meierei, Oberschwaben ) arose on the right bank of the Dunajec , which in the 18th century, when the Camaldolese order gave land to German farm workers who were needed to manage the monastery properties, clearly was enlarged and the new settlement was named Unterschwaben (earlier also Unter- / Sublechnitz , Slovak since 1920 Nižné Šváby , Hungarian Alsólehnic / Sublehnic ).
In the Lipníktal above the monastery, after the discovery of a sulphurous Glauber's spring in 1820, the Smerdžonka spa (German Bad Kronenberg , Slovak name goes back to the stinking springs), which gained national importance after 1900. After the First World War , the spa was closed because the spring was filled in during the war and was not exposed again until 1928.
In 1948 the municipality of Červený Kláštor was formed from the places Nižné Šváby (German Lower Swabia ), Smerdžonka (German Bad Kronenberg ) and the Červený Kláštor (German Red Monastery ). An international pioneer camp was located there from 1968 to 1989. Today the spa town of Smerdžonka is called Červený Kláštor-kúpele.
