Viking Longhouse

Part of the longhouse project of a Viking home with rudimentary furnishings and lighting (for the sake of historical accuracy). This is an idea for a historically accurate yet simultaneously the most developed and spectacular form of the so-called 'intercolumnar' construction from the stronghold of Jomsborg in Wolin.

"Project created for the Medieval Settlement in Sławutowo. (Poland, Pommerania)"

This time, all the textures are made by me. :)

Hearth and smoke hole in the ceiling (if there was an upper floor or mezzanine, the smoke would pass directly beside and accumulate under the roof truss, and was then vented through a draft).
