1962 – 1967 Seven villages under the waterSedem dedín pod vodou

Between February 1962 and December 1967 the Ondava was dammed north of the town to make the Veľká Domaša reservoir — fourteen kilometres long and thirty-five metres deep at the dam. Seven villages went under it: Dobrá nad Ondavou, Kelča, Petejovce, Trepec, Valkov, Veľká Domaša itself, and parts of Bžany and Turany nad Ondavou. Their people were resettled, and Nová Kelča was built for one of them on the new shore. One of the drowned villages had already been destroyed once: German soldiers burned Veľká Domaša on 20 November 1944 because it had helped the Čapajev partisans. It was rebuilt — and then it was flooded.Od februára 1962 do decembra 1967 prehradili severne od mesta Ondavu a vznikla vodná nádrž Veľká Domaša — štrnásť kilometrov dlhá a pri hrádzi tridsaťpäť metrov hlboká. Pod hladinou zostalo sedem dedín: Dobrá nad Ondavou, Kelča, Petejovce, Trepec, Valkov, samotná Veľká Domaša a časti obcí Bžany a Turany nad Ondavou. Ľudí presťahovali a pre jednu z dedín postavili na novom brehu Novú Kelču. Jedna zo zatopených obcí bola zničená už predtým: Veľkú Domašu vypálili 20. novembra 1944 nemeckí vojaci za to, že pomáhala partizánom zväzku Čapajev. Postavili ju znova — a potom ju zaliala voda.
