One of the strangest places in Hungary lies beside the Tisza River in a village called Gergelyiugornya. Hugged by a bend in the river, it’s a relatively narrow, woody flood basin area packed with small cottages that show an incredibly wide variety of architectural designs and creativity. [...]
Most of these houses were built in the 80s, when the workers of socialist Hungary were allowed to build for themselves on small plots of land.

Interesting to note how well the houses fit with each other.
Better than most residential architecture in the US. Smarter, too.
reminds me of asian jungle villages, maybe here the stilts are to fend off bears?
and what about the 13 states american flag?
The stilts are for flood protection.
