The village of Krakovany, Piestany district in Slovakia is not to be
confused with Krakovany in Czechia. Modern
village Krakovany consists of two former independent villages, Krakovany
and Stráže. The first written mention of village Krakovany originates from
the year 1113 in so-called "Zoborský pergamen", where were were
listed all assets and people of the Zobor monastery following the instruction
of the Hungarian king Koloman. Life of community in the village is deep-rooted,
its higher forms were developed at the turn of this century influenced
by sacral creation. It has 1354 inhabitants.
