===Civic architecture===
{{Main article|Romanesque secular and domestic architecture|Gothic secular and domestic architecture}}
While much of the surviving medieval architecture is either religious or military, examples of civic and even domestic architecture can be found throughout Europe. Examples include [[manor house]]s, [[town hall]]s, [[almshouse]]s and bridges, but also residential houses. Walled towns were constructed across Europe, including in [[Austrian walled towns|Austria]].
The Civic landscape of Europe was built up of the crown, the church, [[Guild|guilds]], [[Mayor|mayors]], and the elite. It was also largely running off of ceremonies that connected these relationships. <ref>{{Cite book |last=Hanawalt |first=Barbara |title=Ceremony and civility: civic culture in late medieval London |date=2017 |publisher=Oxford University Press |isbn=978-0-19-049043-0 |location=New York, NY}}</ref> The examples of the civic architecture mentioned in the last paragraph were mostly owned by the elite or government buildings. For example, [[Manor house|manor houses]] were owned by [[Bishop|bishops]] and located closely in relation to churches. These buildings, due to their higher class ownership, were more large in scale with elements that displayed wealth. <ref>{{Cite book |last=Thompson |first=Michael W. |title=Medieval bishops' houses in England and Wales |date=2018 |publisher=Routledge Taylor & Francis Group |isbn=978-0-429-45084-6 |edition=Reissued |location=Abingdon New York,NY}}</ref> They also provide an insight into the social history of the area it sits in through its architecture due to them adapting throughout the years to accommodate what the owner needed most. <ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Luengas-Carreño |first1=D. |last2=Crespo de Antonio |first2=M. |last3=Sánchez-Beitia |first3=S. |date=2020-07-24 |title=Typological Study and Cataloguing of Late Medieval Manor Houses of the Basque Country (Spain) |url=https://isprs-archives.copernicus.org/articles/XLIV-M-1-2020/65/2020/ |journal=The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences |language=English |volume=XLIV-M-1-2020 |pages=65–71 |doi=10.5194/isprs-archives-XLIV-M-1-2020-65-2020 |doi-access=free |bibcode=2020ISPAr44M1...65L |issn=1682-1750}}</ref> Majority of these buildings were made of stone while some were also wood framed. <ref>{{Cite journal |last=Barley |first=Maurice W. |date=January 1988 |title=Nottinghamshire Medieval Manor Houses. |url=https://www.brepolsonline.net/doi/10.1484/J.NMS.3.163 |journal=Nottingham Medieval Studies |language=en |volume=32 |pages=165–175 |doi=10.1484/J.NMS.3.163 |issn=0078-2122|url-access=subscription }}</ref>
