Historically the turf hut (gamme) was the dominating feature on Coastal Sámi farms. This construction technique was especially popular regarding barns, and was used in some places up until the middle part of the 20th century. This compact building complex housed all of the animals on the Holmenes Farm. Here both the sheep barn and cowshed were built like turf huts. The cowshed even had a fireplace where food was prepared for the animals, something which was common in the Troms County during the first half of the 20th century. The stable, which is situated roughly half a metre from the hayloft, is a building with modest dimensions - used by the Lyngs horse which is a dwarfish horse breed.
