DE living room - triangular window set - wooden vault - heating development during the 15th-17th centuries
SN 12121487
AB A triangular set of windows with small upper openings was identified in the Utechovice Stronghold (Ceska Lipa region) along with an imprint of a wooden vault frontage. These discoveries as well as other documented findings remarkably shift the current knowledge about the appearance of a medieval living room. Later analogies raise a question when during the Middle Ages the living space changed from a smoky room into a living room where the stove heat could circulate and ventilate the room through an upper opening and which could also conduct combustion products away from light.
