history
Žakovce is one of the oldest places in the Spiš region and was mentioned in writing in 1209 as Villa Isaac . After the Mongol invasion in 1241, German "guests" settled in the village. The village belonged to the Confederation of the Spiš Saxons , after 1412 to the confederation of the 11 Spis towns, as it was not pledged to Poland. Nevertheless, the village lost its importance and in 1465 became dependent on Spiš Castle .

Until 1918, the place in Zips County belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary , then came to Czechoslovakia and is now part of Slovakia. At the end of the Second World War, the German residents were deported and instead Žakovce was settled by Slovaks from Blažov and other surrounding villages.
