It looks like the lowest floor was used for horses or livestock. What a wonderful treat it must have been to see this wonderful house. It has stood so long because of the wonderful construction. I love this. Do you have more shots of the inside?
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.
