An old Frisian longhouse (German: Altfriesisches Bauernhaus) was a long-bodied byre-dwelling (Wohnstallhaus) or longhouse that was widespread in the Dutch and Frisian North Sea coastal marshes from the Later Middle Ages until the 18th or 19th century. It combined the farmer's living area with a byre or animals' stall, and had limited space for storing harvest products.
