Bakehouse (building)
A village bakehouse, Göcsej, Hungary
A bakehouse is a building for baking bread. The term may be used interchangeably with the term "bakery", although the latter commonly includes both production and retail areas. [1]
Designated bakehouses can be found in archaeological sites from ancient times, e.g., in Roman forts.[2]
Historically there have been many types of bakehouses: individual, in the backyards of homesteads; communal, used by residents of a village or a town, and commercial.
Some of them used to be nothing but a huge oven, called oven-houses.
