House Of Esterházy
A house is a single-unit residential building. It may range in complexity from a rudimentary hut to a complex structure of wood, masonry, concrete or other material, outfitted with plumbing, electrical, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems.Schoenauer, Norbert (2000). ''6,000 Years of Housing'' (rev. ed.) (New York: W.W. Norton & Company). Houses use a range of different roofing systems to keep precipitation such as rain from getting into the dwelling space. Houses generally have doors or locks to secure the dwelling space and protect its inhabitants and contents from burglars or other trespassers. Most conventional modern houses in Western cultures will contain one or more bedrooms and bathrooms, a kitchen or cooking area, and a living room. A house may have a separate dining room, or the eating area may be integrated into the kitchen or another room. Some large houses in North America have a recreation room.

Sopron
Sopron (; , ) is a city in Hungary on the Austrian border, near Lake Neusiedl/Lake Fertő. History Ancient times-13th century In the Iron Age a hilltop settlement with a burial ground existed in the neighbourhood of Sopron-Várhely. When the area that is today Western Hungary was a province of the Roman Empire, a city called ''Scarbantia'' stood here. The site of its forum is now the main square of Sopron. During the Migration Period, Scarbantia was believed to be deserted. When Hungarians arrived in the area, the city was in ruins. From the 9th to the 11th centuries, Hungarians strengthened the old Roman city walls and built a castle. The city was named in Hungarian after a castle steward named ''Suprun''. In 1153, it was mentioned as an important city. In 1273, King Otakar II of Bohemia occupied the castle. Even though he took the children of Sopron's nobility with him as hostages, the city opened its gates when the armies of King Ladislaus IV of Hungary arrived. L ...

Buják
Buják is a village and municipality in the Pásztó District of Nógrád County, Hungary. History The origin of the name is unclear: the word "Buják" may be Slavic (meaning "bull" in Hungarian), while the expression "Bijan chald" signifies plant lushness, and etymologists trace it back to a Slavic personal name. The area has been inhabited since the Late Bronze Age—such finds were discovered on the hill along the road leading to Ecseg, at what is known as Tarisznya-part (haversack coast). Artifacts from the time of the Conquest have also been uncovered. The foundations of the castle were likely laid after the Mongol invasion. The settlement was a market town at the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries. During the Ottoman campaign in Hungary in 1552, Buják Castle was captured by the Turks. Between 1562-63, its feudal lord was a certain Szefer, the deputy commander of the Hatvan garrison. At that time, 38 taxable houses were recorded, and this number was the same in 1579. In ...
