Hollókő, Traditional ethnographic village in Nógrád County, Hungary
The village features wooden houses with white walls, gabled roofs, and porches arranged along narrow streets lined with fruit trees and gardens.
Following the Mongol invasion in the 13th century, locals constructed a stone castle on the hilltop to protect the settlement from future attacks.
Residents maintain Palóc traditions through folk dances, handmade textiles, pottery making, and seasonal celebrations that showcase regional customs.
The village offers guided tours in multiple languages, traditional accommodations, and connections to Budapest through regular bus services.
Each house in the village retains its original architectural elements from the 18th century, creating an authentic representation of pre-industrial rural life.
