History

Misefa was first mentioned in documents as ''Myxefolva'' (in 1352), but it has existed since the 13th century. According to a local legend the name (from ''"mise"'', meaning mass, and ''"fa"'', meaning tree) originates from the fact that the village didn't have a church and masses were held under the branches of a walnut tree.
