The "House Without a Roof," as it is officially known, is a still-used cave dwelling in the Upper Palatinate market town of Kallmünz. The cave is located north of the Vils River at the southern end of the Schlossberg (Castle Hill), upon which the Kallmünz Castle ruins stand. The entrance is set back from Vilsgasse (Vils Lane) at the foot of an approximately 20-meter-high limestone cliff of the Schlossberg, and access is via a passage between the listed residential buildings at Vilsgasse 26 and Vilsgasse 28.

A highlight in Kallmünz and definitely worth seeing, the "house in the rock". The "house without a roof" or "house under the rock" is a still-used cave from the 18th century that was the home of the forge. The house cannot be visited, there is a board with explanations at the entrance.

One of the most famous tourist attraction is the "house without roof" in the Vilsgasse. This is a small cave dwelling whose entrance is closed by a wall with door and window openings.
