Viking house in ring fortress. Cutaway artwork of the inside of a Viking longhouse in one of the circular Viking fortresses known as trelleborgs.

The fortress wall and longhouse are constructed from wood, raised on stone foundations. The longhouse has a thatched roof. The inside is a single large communal area, with a central cooking fire and a section for livestock. Furs and rugs are on benches and the walls, along with shields, weapons and animal head trophies

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed cutaway artwork of a Viking house in a ring fortress, providing us with a glimpse into the daily life of these ancient Scandinavian warriors. The photograph captures the essence of the Viking Age, dating back to the 8th to 11th centuries. Constructed from wood and raised on sturdy stone foundations, this longhouse stands tall within its protective walls. Its thatched roof adds an authentic touch to this historical dwelling. Inside, we are transported to a single large communal area bustling with activity. A central cooking fire takes center stage while livestock occupies their designated section. The interior is adorned with furs and rugs draped over benches and walls, creating warmth amidst the wooden surroundings. Shields proudly hang alongside weapons and animal head trophies as symbols of strength and valor. This artwork not only offers insight into architectural design but also sheds light on cultural practices during this era. It serves as evidence of human settlement patterns and provides valuable information for archaeological research. As we admire this illustration, we are reminded of the rich history embedded within these ancient structures found in Denmark and Sweden today. This print truly encapsulates the spirit of Viking culture - fierce yet resourceful people who left an indelible mark on European history.
