Brhlovce (Hungarian: Borfő, pronounced [ˈborføː]) is a municipality and village in the Levice District in the south-west of Slovakia, in the Nitra Region.
It is known mainly for its excavated dwellings, cut into the volcanic sub-layer, that have been proposed for the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The excavated dwellings are said to have been constructed by the local people in the 16th and 17th centuries in order to "hide the village" and avoid the Turkish raids.
They did not want to build normal ground-level houses because these would be visible from afar.
