Takács cellar

Takács Cellar is an underground cavity carved into rock with passages branching through solid stone in Ecseg. The space maintains steady cool temperatures naturally, making it well-suited for storing wine.

The cellar was dug by the Takács family during the period when winemaking became important in the local area. It served as one of many private storage facilities that families built to preserve their harvests and goods.

The cellar reflects how local families valued wine as a central part of their life and commerce in this region. Different sections still show how each wine type was stored separately according to traditional practices.

You can reach the cellar through clearly marked paths from the village of Ecseg. Wear comfortable shoes and bring a light jacket since the underground space stays cool and damp year-round.

The stone archways show construction methods that were passed down through generations and reflect local building traditions. These curved structures were specifically designed to keep the underground rooms stable and strong over centuries.
