Houses from the Viking era ⚔️ When the vikings settled in the Faroe Islands around year 800, they built low houses of stone and turf under heavy grass roofs, carried by a timber construction of driftwood and tucked into the ground to protect them from a climate with violent changes of wind and rain. If this sounds familiar, you are right! To this day you will find these sorts of houses in the Faroe Islands - Of course with electricity and modern facilities instead of the old fireplace. 📸 @dpc_photography #faroeislands #visitfaroeislands
