    Pile construction plur. Pile dwellings (also called stilts or Lakeside settlement - English Stilt house called) are wooden structures on piles on rivers, on or in lakes, in swamps or at the sea.

    Stilt houses are from prehistoric times from the 5th to the 1st millennium BC. Documented in Europe, especially in the alpine region. In France, Slovenia, Scotland, Lithuania and Latvia, pile dwellings can now be found on the edges of lakes. Historic stilt houses in the Po Valley in Italy are called Terramaren. Today, pile dwellings are common on the coasts of Southeast Asia.

      The half-timbered house in which the museum is housed dates from 1618. Since June 2011, the pile dwelling settlements have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The most famous find is probably a fossilized giant salamander.
