Abstract

Viticulture has a long tradition in Slovakia, which is reflected in many aspects of traditional culture, especially in regions with a predisposition to this form of farming. The territory of Slovakia, with its inland location and various natural conditions, belongs to the northern limit of profitable viticulture. The differentiated form of the cultural landscape has given rise to a specific wine-growing landscape, which has undergone several changes in the course of its historical development. Vineyard areas have changed, and the continuity of the cultivation area has been consolidated or interrupted. The changes in these zones were mainly linked to the climatic and geological conditions to which the vine varieties reacted differently. These processes have also led to significant changes in individual architectural or landscape features linked to viticulture and wine production. Many of them are disappearing or changing their form or significance, mainly because of the ongoing dynamic changes in this historic landscape. The sites surveyed in the Cheb hills confirm the ongoing transformation of vineyard buildings associated with changes in their original function or form. Nevertheless, there are still buildings which, by their preservation, may reflect their original material or functional characteristics and thus have monumental values.
