The longhouse of the Middle Ages is much like other longhouses of other parts of the world. It is literally a long house, but it is also a common house for an extended family or a number of families.
Medieval longhouses were built in Germanic and Celtic lands from ancient times and up to times that are rather recent, and only really went into decline in northern Germany in the 19th century. They were generally well built of stone or timber construciton, with a very large hall and a number of smaller rooms. They often had large storage areas for food, particularly grain, and in wetter climates, these were sometimes in strongly supported attic areas. In some places they had areas that housed animals in addition to those for people.
