&quot;Stilt House&quot; -- [&#x27;Stilt houses&#x27; or &#x27;pile dwellings&#x27; are houses raised on piles over the surface of the soil or a body of water. In the Neolithic and Bronze Age, stilt houses were common in the Alpine region. Remains have been found at the Mondsee and Attersee lakes in Upper Austria, for example.]~[Photo Source: BarefootFloor.com]
