In historical records the village was first mentioned in 1293.

Before the establishment of independent Czechoslovakia in 1918, Holumnica was part of Szepes County within the Kingdom of Hungary. From 1939 to 1945, it was part of the Slovak Republic. On 26 January 1945, the Red Army dislodged the Wehrmacht from Holumnica and it was once again part of Czechoslovakia. After the end of World War II the German population was expelled according to the Beneš decrees.[6]
