The cliff dwelling in Lothka is located in the Central Bohemian region of the Czech Republic. The rock-dwelling in Lhotka is one of many in the Kokořín area and the one inhabited for the longest time. There are other dwellings and farm buildings, like sheds and cellars, built into sandstone rocks in the area.
The exact construction date of the cliff dwelling is unknown but it has been inhabited for the longest time among other rock dwellings in the area. Probably at the end of the 1850s, a couple bought the house and after that, their son inhabited the dwelling with his family and passed it down to his children.
The rock-dwelling in Lhotka is a great result of interesting constructive methods with low cost and a great example of a special type of Czechian folk architecture. Some of these rock houses were not only temporary emergency dwellings for the poor, but also served as permanent housing and were passed down from one generation to another.
Some of the windows of the building are just holes in the rock, the chimney is in a rock crevice, and the roof is a big boulder. Part of the exterior is white.
On the ground floor, there is a small kitchen, cellar, and living room. Upstairs, above the living room, a granary, equipped with two smaller windows, was carved.
