Spiš Castle
In historical records the village was first mentioned in 1246 as a "zek" and was originally a place of border guards of the emerging Hungarian state. Therefore, the local nobles wore the title "de Szék". It was not until 1525 that the Slavic name form emerged as "Szlatwin". Before that year, the village was owned by the "Zsigray" family, after which it came under the dominion of the Spiš Castle and thus under landlords such as "Zápolya" , "Thurzo" and "Csáky". In 1828 there were 29 houses and 218 inhabitants whose main source of income was agriculture.
