Vindlausloftet

This wooden storehouse features two levels with traditional Norwegian construction techniques, including specific notching methods and remaining structural elements from its original design.

Dendrochronological studies of the timber confirm the structure was built after 1167, making it one of the oldest wooden buildings still standing in Europe.

The storehouse served as a storage space for clothing and summer sleeping quarters, reflecting the traditional Norwegian farm architecture of the medieval period.

Located at the Vest-Telemark Museum, the storehouse stands near the Eidsborg stave church and allows visitors to examine medieval construction methods.

The building displays findalslaft construction technique, which disappeared from Norwegian architecture after the Black Death of 1349.
