Cave Apartment, Open Air Museum, Open air museum in Egerszalók, Hungary.
The Cave Apartment museum displays dwellings carved into rock with original furniture, kitchen fixtures, and household goods from earlier periods. The rooms reveal the typical layout and contents of these homes that were built into the natural stone formations of the area.
These rock dwellings developed as people found ways to use the local geology to create sheltered living spaces that protected against weather. The settlement pattern persisted across many generations, demonstrating the enduring practicality of this building method.
The village way of life is revealed through the domestic spaces carved into rock, where you can see how families organized their daily routines in these homes. This form of dwelling reflects the local community's practical approach to building and living with the natural landscape.
The museum sits near the thermal springs area and has clear paths guiding you through the exhibition spaces. Allow a couple of hours to walk through the different rooms and see the details at a comfortable pace.
Below the exhibition rooms sits a working wine cellar system that keeps a steady temperature throughout the year. This underground storage demonstrates how people cleverly used the natural rock conditions for preserving wine.
