Most people in the wooded districts lived on single farms. In the agricultural regions people lived in villages. Every farm had a number of houses: a dwelling house, a cow-house, a stable, a barn, a brewing house, a kitchen, a pantry and perhaps a bath house. The houses were built of wood. The farm could be owned by a nobleman, a monastery, the church, the king or the peasant himself.
