The Old Village (Ofalu), Holloko

Today's face of the village dates from the rebuilding which took place after the 1909 fire, though the village retained its original layout and many houses still preserve original vernacular details. The Old Village has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Sites since 1987.

The houses of the village are perpendicular to the central roadway on long narrow plots and it is this that gives the typical village form. There are several typical features of the houses including the stone foundations and the common arrangement of rooms that are found in a row: bedroom, kitchen, pantry, and then stable. The roofs, which overhang on two sides, were later supported with supply columns and railings forming verandas along the house. The houses have a particular roof shape, which leads the water away from the decorated front gable. One of the most distinctive buildings in the old village is the late 19th century Catholic church with its wooden steeple.

In the Old Village there is a Weaving House (Szövőház), Village Museum (Falumúzeum), Post Museum (Postamúzeum), Museum of Dolls (Babamúzeum), Folk Art House (Mívesház), as well as numerous folk craft masters who welcome visitors into their workshops.
