Brhlovce - rock dwellings
The complex of rock dwellings carved into tuff , located a few kilometers east of Levice in the village BRHLOVCE , is unique in the whole territory of Slovakia.
The origin of unique rock dwellings in Slovakia is not clear. Some authors associate them with the possibility of hiding from the Turks in the 16th century, others link their origins to economic activity - extinct vineyards.
The rock dwellings, which can be found especially in Šurda Street , date from the 18th to the 20th century. Some are still used for housing , others are used as wine cellars or utility rooms.
The Folk Housing Exposition , located in a 1932 house and in the back of its courtyard in tuff-cut rooms, documents the distinctive way of living in the region. Interesting exhibits of this exhibition include stone tools tools, folk furniture, pottery, kitchen inventory . The exposition of folk housing is an extended exposition of the Tek Museum in Levice.
