The village existed with the same name during the period of Frankish domination ,when according to De Mas Latri was a part of the region of Hrysohous with the villages Emba ,Lemba and others. The same writer notes the village as Letymbou.

The village seems to be older than the Frankish rule period and there was obviously from the former Byzantine years, since its name is Greek (it comes from the word Tomb= grand grave).

In the village area there is the church of the Virgin Mary of ‘Fotolambousis’, the church of Saint Theodoros, as well as the church of Saint Kyryka and Juliet.  Gunnis mentions four other chapels around the village. But other sources mention that. Letymbou is known in the whole region for its churches.

The great number of churches in the area might mean that the village was much bigger during the medieval years.

In 1880 A pit of calcareous rocks functioned in the area . Recently a pit of gypsum functioned here.
