In Scandinavian languages (mostly Swedish) ''torp'' means a small dwelling, such as a cottage, with a small leased farm area cultivated by its inhabitants, similar to a croft. Today, most of those still existing in Scandinavia serve as summer homes for city dwellers. The word is cognate to Anglo Saxon Thorp or Thorpe and also exists as surname or a place name. In Danish and Norwegian the common noun for an inhabitant of a torp is ''husmann/husmand'' – a man with a house. Husmenn used to own their houses, but not the land. ''Torp'' is also sometimes used as a surname in Scandinavia. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Torp (architecture)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
