This small Palóc village is the world's first village to be listed as a UNESCO World heritage site in 1987. The village locale covers 55 historic buildings and a 141 hectare (350 acre) protected area. The buildings of the old village had to be restored after the big outbreak of fire in 1909, preserving the traditional three-part sectioning that had taken shape over the centuries.
Pannonhalma
This is the most impressive and prominent building of the Pannonhalma Abbey atop a hill, providing evidence of the people who had found their new home in the heart of Europe. The sons of Saint Benedict, the Benedictines, founded the first monastic school of the country here. In the course of the 11th century the first church and monastery were built, with the former to be re-built in the 12th century. The current church and crypt were only completed in the early 13th century, surviving the devastating Mongol invasions without damage.
Aggtelek
It is an underground natural science museum consisting of a 25 km (15 mile) long Baradla-Domica cave system that is adorned with stalactites and stalagmites, and streams running through. The caves are physically separated at the Hungarian-Slovak border, but geographically they form one interconnected structure. It was added to the World Heritage List on the 6th of December 1995.
