Welcome to the collection of images and descriptions dedicated to cellars — traditional underground or partially underground rooms designed for food storage. If you are interested in the structure and features of cellars, you will find comprehensive information here that will help you better understand their role, construction features, and place in the household.

A cellar is a space, often dug into the ground or built into the foundation of a building, aimed at creating a stable microclimate with a low and stable temperature and high humidity. Due to these parameters, cellars are ideal for storing vegetables (potatoes, carrots, cabbage), fruits, preserves, wines, and other food products that require protection from heat and drying out.

Depending on the region, a cellar may have various structures: from simple earth pits with wooden or stone walls and shelves, to more complex constructions with metal doors, ventilation shafts, and thermal insulation. In a typical environment, a cellar is often located near a residential house or outbuilding, sometimes including a ventilation system to maintain optimal air exchange and prevent mold formation.

The surrounding landscape of a cellar can vary — from damp earth in wooded or rural areas to rocky slopes and plains. Seasonal weather changes affect the humidity levels and temperature inside the cellar, allowing products to remain fresh and not subject to rapid spoilage throughout the year.

Cellars may also include additional elements such as racks, storage boxes, clay or wooden containers for pickling and fermenting. Often, a cellar serves not only as a storage place but also as part of a broader system of ensuring food security and managing the household.
