Viking Houses & Homes.
The vikings called their houses longhouses.
The homes were made of stone and turf and they had thatched roofs, which were made of straw and reeds. The Vikings lived, slept and ate in one big room there was a stone hearth center. If the room was big enough there would be a table in the center. The smoke from the hearth would go out threw a gap in the roof or a doorway. Their valuables were kept in a chest.
