Wine cellars of Cák
Surroundings Museum
The village made a living from wine growing, but the Grape phylloxera, which destroyed the grape plantations of the whole continent, killed all the vine-stocks here. The memories of winery are hold by the cellars on the border of the village.
Few know, that these cellars and press houses were used not only for wine production, but also for storing fruit and chestnut. Nine of the cellars are preserved in their original forms, which are protected by the law. All of them can be visited in the opening hours of Szabadtéri Néprajzi Múzeum (Open-Air Folklore Museum). Most of the cellars were built at the beginning of the 19th century from oak and chestnut logs, which were covered by cay. In the houses there are richly painted grape-presses, and fruit storing selves.
