History

[edit]

In historical records the village was first mentioned in 1342. The village was formerly known as Grenzdorf in German. The wooden church there was built in 1785.[1] Before the establishment of independent Czechoslovakia in 1918, Hraničné was part of Szepes County within the Kingdom of Hungary. From 1939 to 1945, it was part of the Slovak Republic. On 24 January 1945, the Red Army dislodged the Wehrmacht from Hraničné and it was once again part of Czechoslovakia.

In August 2021 it was announced that the road connecting the village to neighbouring Kremná would be repaired using EU funds.[2]
