The origin of the Palóc has already covered many ethnographers and historians, however, there are still many white spots regarding the origin of the ethnic group: the Palóc seem to have some sort of connections with the Khazar, Kabar, Pechenegs and Cuman tribes.
The most famous Palóc settlement is village of Hollókő, which was proclaimed a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987.
