Part of the series World Heritage sites in Hungary
HOLLÓKŐ preserves its honour and traditions because it is the real thing, not just a copy. The Catholic church with a wooden tower and shingle roof is the village’s hallmark, along with the castle on the hill above. It is surrounded with simple houses from the Palóc region, where visitors can try out pottery throwing or textile weaving, and some even offer accommodation. Spending a few days in Hollókő is more than just relaxation, it’s a way of life. So it’s no surprise that the inhabitants, young and old, want to preserve this calm, peaceful lifestyle.
