History
Iron Age artifacts including fibulae, graves and cippi found in Kremna show that the village was inhabited between the 7th-4th century BC.[3] Funeral cippi depicting Roman funeral art of the Phrygian God Attis, suggest Kremna was home to a stonemason workshop between the 2nd-4th century AD.[4]
During the Middle Ages, Kremna was purported to have been home to the summerhouse of the Serbian Nemanjić dynasty. In 1738 during the Russo-Turkish War, Serbian Militia units attacked Ottoman forces stationed in the village, setting fire to the local regional caravanserai.[5] During the 19th century, Kremna was populated by Serbs from the regions of Montenegro and Herzegovina.[6]
