Ruskinovce was a village in the Kežmarok district. It disappeared in the process of establishing the Javorina military district.
Ruskinovce has been known since the 13th century. known for centuries. In 1271 it became a royal town on the basis of the rights granted by King Stephen V of Hungary to the Spiš Saxons. They were handed over to the Polish king in 1412 along with twelve other Zipser towns. Since the 13th century, the Gothic two-aisled Church of St. Agnes has stood here. The Madonna from this church comes from the workshop of Master Paul von Levoča and is now in the National Gallery in Bratislava. From the end of the 19th century there was also a church of the Evangelical Church of Augsburg. In 1726, on the initiative of the captain of the Ľubovňa Castle, Teodor Ľubomírský, a statue of the Immaculata was erected (a similar statue and the largest of this series is in nearby Ľubica).
In 1952 the village was evicted for the establishment of the Javorina military training area. Gradually, the residential and farm buildings were demolished and their material used for road construction. The churches were initially cleared and used as warehouses. Eventually they too were sacrificed, as was the statue of the Immaculata (Marine Column). At the end of the 1990s, Ruskinovce restoration activities began. Gradually, a wooden chapel was built on the site of the former Catholic Gothic church. A few tens of meters further, on the site of the former evangelical church, a cross with an engraving of this church was erected. From then on, religious services were held here regularly. Currently, access to the former village is possible through Ľubica and the barriers on the border with the former military compound, which was closed on December 31, 2010 (Translated from Wikipedia).
