The medieval Hungarian architecture is a very huge topic. So maybe we start it with the architectural traditions of the Hungarian conquerors. The early medieval (5-10th century) architecture of the Eastern European steppe. The basic form was the sunken house. The average steppic peoples lived in this type of house and not in yurts or tents. Especially, since we do not have any sign, that the Hungarians ever used yurts and tents onto the basic dwelling. The peoples in the steppe lived in small villages, few sunken house and their farmyard, presumably a great family, the close relatives. The Hungarian name of this type of the village was
"szer"
