Salaš

Salaš (in Serbo-Croatian, Czech, Slovak and Rusyn from Hungarian szállás meaning "house, accommodation") is a traditional type of property in the Pannonian Plain region, particularly in Bačka and Slavonia, with a family house and agricultural objects such as a barn, stable and granary, surrounded by arable land and pastures. They were owned and inhabited by a single family, who lived there for generations. Western equivalents to the salaš are ranches and cottages.

Since the Middle Ages, Salaš properties have been present across the Pannonian lowlands, from Slovakia and Austria to Romania and Serbia (especially in the northern parts such as Vojvodina).

In modern times, these types of dwelling have become less frequent, with many dying out along with the specific culture surrounding these properties.
