fõház

Főház is a Hungarian term that translates to "main house" or "principal dwelling" in English. It refers to the primary building on a property, often distinguished from outbuildings or secondary structures. In historical contexts, the főház was typically the residence of the landowner, estate owner, or the most important family within a larger settlement. It was generally the largest and most elaborately constructed building, reflecting the status and wealth of its inhabitants.

The architectural style and size of a főház would vary greatly depending on the region, time period, and the specific purpose of the estate. On agricultural estates, the főház would be the center of operations and social life. In more rural or village settings, it might refer to the largest and most prominent house, potentially belonging to a village elder or a wealthier resident. The term emphasizes the central and most significant dwelling within a group of buildings or a specific property. It is not a specific architectural style but rather a functional designation for the main residential structure.
