Bronze Age Pile Dwelling House Thayngen

nice when something like this is taken care of

Highly recommended for children, very good description...

True to the original house from the Bronze AgeThe pile-dwelling house is based on the archaeological finds from the pile-dwelling site on the Riesi peninsula, which protrudes into Lake Hallwil within sight. In 1923, the Seengen Historical Association under Reinhold Bosch examined a small section of the site and unearthed excellently preserved wooden pile-dwelling structures, including a block-built substructure. This still supports the floor of the pile-dwelling house today and raises it so that the house is protected from flooding - just as it was in the late Bronze Age around 1000 BC.The roof of the pile-dwelling house is covered with shingles. Hundreds of these have been found in other pile-dwelling settlements of this period. A wooden door closes the house.
