The houses in the village are built of limestone called oolite with a tuberous surface similar to caviar, which is mined in a local quarry. Fences and various structures are also erected from this material. Local residents joke that everything can be done from the shell except for pudding. Since this material is very expensive, they treat it very carefully, they disassemble it in collapsing buildings, and again use it in construction.
