Add some rush mats, some rope bedsteads with woolen beds stuffed with straw, hay bales, tools and roots and herbs and flowers and baskets hanging from the beams and shelves (which were pegged to the beams), and pots full of everything and a barrel and trestle table with fruit baskets and steins and what not, and you're on your way to making a full medieval home
maybe they attached straw mats agains the roof?.Or woolen blankets/curtains against the walls in winter? ...although a lot of fire hazard i reckon.... we only see the bare house, not how they used to furnish it
The ground seems like it is just regulard dirt ground, I wonder if only the wealthier houses had mat/wooden floors etc? I'm guessing these must have had to keep their shoes on in this house, outside of hoping into bed etc.
It has been moved from its original location, to the museum where it now resides and is maintained. So it is as original as possible, but with an appropriate level of regular conservation work to keep it open and available to visitors.
Wow this is a cool find. Thank you for sharing, that house has been through a lot in it's time. I wonder if it's owners survived the Black Death or not....
Very comfy and family-made. There are similar houses here in my country, but here we have the downside of having lots of poisonous spiders and scorpions
