history
It was mentioned in writing for the first time in 1363 as Kralowenen , it was created at an important crossroads of trade routes on the border of the Turz , Arwa and Liptau counties . In 1420 Kraľovany was part of the rulership of the Arwaburg and for centuries was a fishing village and a landing stage for rafts. During the rule of the Thurzo family , there was a toll station and a profitable restaurant here. In 1625 the village had 14 families and around 70 residents. In 1813, a flood caused great damage in the place. In 1828 there were 59 houses and 416 inhabitants. The importance of the place increased at the end of the 19th century: After there had been a train station on the main line of the Kaschau-Oderberg Railway since 1871 , a branch towards Oravský Podzámok was added in 1898 , which was later extended to what was then Galicia .
