The first written reference to the village Jakubová Voľa A document from 1315 states that in 1312 King Charles Robert of Anjou granted the nobleman Rikolf, in recognition of his military service, a forest south of the village of Červenica, on the right bank of the Torysa, amongst other things. Work soon began on building a village on the donated land. The village was named Jakubova Ves (Jacabfolua).
To the south of Jakubova Voľa lies a hill with a distinctive plateau, known locally as Fortified settlement. In the past, during the Great Moravian period, there was a fortified settlement there.
Today, a much-visited tree also attracts attention in the village. The tree, which is tended by local residents, is known as "The Tree of Love"precisely according to the shape of the heart into which it grows.".
Its colours are breathtaking throughout the year, but it attracts the most visitors in spring, when it is in bloom.
