Múzeum skalné obydlia Brhlovce
About This Museum
People come to Brhlovce not just to see a museum, but to step directly into a story carved from stone. It’s a place where human ingenuity meets the earth itself, with dwellings that are more cave than house, yet were lived in for centuries. You wander through cool, dim rooms where the walls are the mountain, feeling the texture of the rock and imagining life here. The sheer cleverness of it—using the landscape as your building material—is what stays with you long after you leave.
Collection Highlights
The main exhibits are the homes themselves, including a preserved dwelling with its original furnishings and a fascinating 'wine room' carved deep into the rock, used for fermenting and storing wine.
Visitor Information
It's located right in the village of Brhlovce, which is easily accessible from Levice. Just be prepared for some uneven steps and cool temperatures inside the rock houses—it's all part of the authentic experience.
Architecture & Building
This isn't a built structure but a series of dwellings carved directly into soft volcanic tuff rock, often described as 'rock-cut' or 'cave' architecture.
