Town history
In 1463, the king Matthias granted Kežmarok the rights of using the coat of arms and sealing with red wax. All over Slovakia, there is not such a coat of arms document as that of Kežmarok. The coat of arms was placed into the middle, in the other ones, it was painted into the top left corner. The Kežmarok document was ranked among the cultural sights of the Slovak Republic.
The area of Kežmarok was already settled 50 000 years ago. It is proved by the archaeological finds from the early Stone Age up to the period of the Slavonic settling. The Slavonic finds found in the Kežmarok area date back to the 9th and 10th century.
Kežmarok was established by merging several settlements of the original Slavonic inhabitants with a settlement of German colonists (the settlements are first mentioned in 1251), who came after the Tartars´ invasion.
