@kristina_nagalina: Longhouses were traditional, elongated dwellings used in Norway during the Viking Age. These wooden structures, with their thatched or turf roofs, served as homes, workplaces, and communal areas for large families and their livestock. 📍Lofotr Longhouse: In Borg, Norway, archaeologists discovered the largest known Viking longhouse. This 83-meter structure served as a combined residence and workspace. The Lofotr Viking Museum now features a detailed reconstruction of this grand longhouse, complete with living areas, workshops, and a feasting hall, offering a glimpse into Viking life and architecture. * Illustrations are from the book “Architecture in Norway - an architectural history from Stone Age to the 21st century” by Per Jonas Nordhagen, Siri Skjold Lexau, Nils Georg Brekke. #architecture #norway #historyfacts #historyofart #History #architecturephotography #scandinavianarchitecture #scandinavia #vikings #viking
