History & geography

History

The first written record about Krásno nad Kysucou was in 1325. At first the village was in the possession of the hereditary reeve of Žilina, then it belonged to the Strečno county. The First World War together with the Second World War and the Economic Crisis left Krásno, like many other places, in a bad condition. The men, who returned from the front, became extremely angry when they saw that those who had stayed at home during the war, were doing very well. They decided to revenge. The armed plundering was finally stopped by the railmen from Žilina, who were called in by the local Jews. The leader of the plundering died during the first shooting and his companion died on his way to hospital.
