BUILDINGS AND ARCHITECTURE / Discover your Heritage / Welcome - North Sea Trail (353 words) |
 | In the Age of migration, during the 400s and 500s, the landscapes are divided between chiefdoms and petty kingdoms, followed by a long period wherein the ecclesiastical and royal powers increase and towns develop. |
| The half-timbered houses of Denmark and Germany belong to the same architectural tradition as the Norwegian stave buildings which, on their part, have an unmistakeable constructional affinity with the large mediaeval barns of the farms of southern England, Normandy, Belgium and the Netherlands. |
| In the landscapes of the southern part of the North Sea, it is particularly the stone architecture and the half-timbered houses that characterise the building tradition of towns and villages alike. |
