Summary:

Pierzchnica village is situated in the Kielce county. It lies east of No.73 road within the Kielce-Chmielnik-Busko Zdrój section. At present it is a local ad-ministrative unit with rural municipality status. The locality lost its town rights and was degraded to the village status, but still retained the features testifying its character of a small town. The paper describes the storage zone called the Cellar Mountain. A complex of over eighty century cellars is situated in this area. These identical objects were constructed successively with growing number of the town inhabitants. Customarily one cellar fell to each of the property owners. The owners and users of this unique, ancient cellar complex which has been preserved to this day, are the inhabitants of Pierzchnica village. Some of the preserved objects are still used for storage, the other are going to ruin.
