Takács cellar, Wine cellar in Ecseg, Hungary

Takács Cellar is a hand-cut cavity in greyish-white andesite tuff at the foot of Közép-hegy, in the Zsunyi-patak valley north of Ecseg. Behind a low, partly collapsed entrance lies a vaulted room of 3.5 by 3.5 m and 2.1 m high, with benches inside. Tool marks are still visible on the walls.

The cellar was cut by hand into andesite tuff at the foot of Közép-hegy and belonged to the Takács watermill estate in the Zsunyi-patak valley. The mill, its dwelling and farm buildings were destroyed, leaving barely recognisable ruins, but the mill's upper channel and the cellar beside it remain. Eszterhás István surveyed the cavity on 20 August 1988, recording a length of 6.5 m.

The cavity is also recorded in literature as Ecsegi Remete-barlang and Remete-barlang, names linking it to hermits. A 1989 book on the region notes that such forest hermit caves sheltered people who withdrew from the world and turned to a vegetarian life. Benches inside suggest it is still used as a rain shelter and bivouac spot.

The cellar lies north of Ecseg's centre in the Zsunyi valley, about 400 m from the Ribár farm, on the right side of the valley beside the blue-cross trail and roughly 5 m above the valley floor. The entrance is low and partly collapsed, so watch your head; inside, benches seat 8–10 people.

The cavity is only 6.5 m long and 2 m high, measured by István Eszterhás on 20 August 1988. Tourist maps mark it as a cave, and literature also calls it Ecsegi Remete-barlang (Hermit's Cave), after the vegetarians who once withdrew here.
