1414 · 1458 A toll house on the way to PolandMýtnica na ceste do Poľska

The village first appears in writing in 1414 as Ladamerwagasa — "Ladomír's clearing", a name that tells you exactly how it began: somebody cut the forest here. It was still exempt from tax in 1427, which is what a young settlement looked like. What made it important was money: royal tolls were being collected here before 1458 on the crossing into Poland over the Dukla, and in 1458 the records name a castellum, a small fortified house the Cudars had built beside the road both to guard it and to take the duty. Someone later buried a pot with about five gold ducats of King Matthias Corvinus nearby; one of them is in the museum at Svidník.Obec sa prvý raz spomína v roku 1414 ako Ladamerwagasa — „Ladomírov výrub“, teda meno, ktoré presne hovorí, ako vznikla: niekto tu vyklčoval les. V roku 1427 ešte nebola zdanená, čo bola bežná podoba mladej osady. Dôležitou ju urobili peniaze: kráľovské mýto sa tu vyberalo už pred rokom 1458 z prechodu cez Duklu do Poľska a v roku 1458 pramene menujú castellum, malý opevnený dom, ktorý dali Cudarovci postaviť pri ceste, aby ju strážil a vyberal clo. Ktosi neskôr neďaleko zakopal nádobu s piatimi zlatými dukátmi kráľa Mateja Korvína; jeden z nich je v múzeu vo Svidníku.
