The brownstone houses and ancient caves of Sanghyang Kenit have a long history. The brown stone itself is the name given by the local community due to the stone's unique color and texture, reminiscent of chocolate.

In addition to brown stone, the ancient Sanghyang Kenit cave is also a special attraction for tourists.
The cave is about 50 meters long and about 10 meters high and contains naturally formed stalactites and stalagmites.

One of the popular myths about bricks in Sanghyang Kenit is about the existence of spirits that live in them. According to this belief, the reddish stone is the abode of geniuses who have great magical powers. Locals often perform rituals around the brownstone to ask for good luck and protection from the spirits that reside within. Meanwhile, the myth associated with the ancient Sanghyang Kenit cave tells of a queen of the underworld who frequently appears in the cave. However, the queen was very beautiful and possessed extraordinary strength.
