Rouchovany · STORY FROM THE ATLAS

Lochy — underground refuges

The cellars of almost every older building in Rouchovany connect with underground passages. They extend far beneath the town to subterranean shelters called lochy or doupence, where the inhabitants hid in the dark days of war. In 1920, part of the square even collapsed to a depth of three metres.
