The oldest written document mentioning Stará Ľubovňa comes from the year 1292. In 1364 King Ludovicus I. vested Stará Ľubovňa with the most important privileges the status of free royal town. The town development continues even after 1412 when it became part of 16 Spiš towns given as a deposit to the Polish kingdom by the Hungarian king Zigmund Luxemburg.   The end of polish rule in 1772 during the reign of Mária Terézia did not bring any profit to the town. The historical core of the town is created by renaissance burger’s houses with baroque  and classical elements  and outline a rectangular shape.
