From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Levice district in the Nitra region

Brhlovce is a municipality and village in the Levice District of the south-west of Slovakia, in the Nitra Region.

It was formed in 1952 by a merge of the villages Dolné Brhlovce (Hungarian: Tegzesborfõ) and Horné Brhlovce (Hungarian: Kálnaborfõ).

It lies some 10 km east of Levice. It is famous mainly for its troglodyte-like dwellings cut into volcanic sub-layer that are suggested for the UNESCO World Heritage List.

The cut-in houses are said to be made in 16th to 17th centuries by the locals in order to "hide the village" and avoid the Turkish raids. The did not want to build usual on-the-ground houses because they were visible from far.
