HISTORY

The first records of Tresna are from 1626. Its name was mentioned in the acts of Queen Constance of Austria, whereby she claimed the village as her property. No more than a century later, Tresna was already a part of the so-called Old-Zywiec Key (Klucz starożywiecki).
Between 1960 and 1966, the administrative authorities built a 39 m high dam on the Sola River. Unfortunately, things went awry resulting in a flood in Tresna. Since then, the village has been recovering from the tragedy and rebuilding the devastated estates.
