Abstract

The one wing house is a type of house that goes back to the Iron Age, c. 2000 bc. Tracks in the ground found all over Denmark show that the house was always orientated east/west—possible as a protection for strong winds from west. Cattle and people lived together under the same roof separated in each end of the house by a central entrance area. The outer walls were built as a timber farm construction rigidly fixed in the earth and filled with mud and branches. A ridge beam construction held the thatched roof. The one-winged farmhouse, with roots in the Iron Age house, can still be seen in many parts of Scandinavian countries. In the middle age, the multi wing farmhouse is developed systematically together with the agriculture in Denmark and could appear with two to four wings organized around a central courtyard.
