history

Krempachy is one of the 14 villages in the Polish Spiš .

The place was probably founded in the 14th century by the Berzeviczy family. It was first mentioned in a document in 1439. The name is of German descent ( Krummbach ). He belonged to the Niedzica estate . Under the Stansith family it became a center of the Reformation and the church in Krempach became Protestant until 1660.

In the 19th century, Slovak became the language of the church and schools, but the local Gorals spoke Goral , a dialect of Polish descent that was always considered Slovak in the Hungarian censuses, unlike the Goral villages of the Arwa . A policy of Magyarization was later pursued.

In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, the village became part of the newly formed Czechoslovakia. As a result of the Czechoslovak-Polish border conflicts in the Spiš area, the place was assigned to the Second Polish Republic in 1920. Between 1920 and 1925 he belonged to the powiat Spisko-Orawski , from July 1, 1925 to the powiat Nowotarski. In 1921 the community had 115 houses with 697 inhabitants, of which 695 were Poles, 2 of other nationalities, 691 Roman Catholic, 6 Israelite.

From 1939 to 1945 the village became part of the Slovak State .

From 1975 to 1998 Krempachy was part of the Nowy Sącz Voivodeship .
