According to the sectional drawing, the roof trusses are self-supporting, and in that case, no interior walls should be load-bearing. Assuming it is not a house built with modules or elements. However, you cannot remove all/most interior walls because the walls have a stabilizing function, such as preventing the house from moving when it's windy, or the exterior walls from bending outward.

Thank you so much for your response!
What is relevant is to remove the wall I marked in yellow on the picture.
The one marked in purple has already been removed earlier.
What do you think about the "yellow" wall?

Floor plan showing a wall marked yellow between a bedroom and living room; a previously removed wall is marked in purple.

It can be tricky when there are no interior walls at all along an entire long side. It's good to have something that ensures it remains 90 degrees between floor and wall, and wall and ceiling. Is it possible to have about a half-meter wall somewhere, firmly anchored to the floor, wall, and ceiling? Some sort of separation between different functions in the room?

Note! I am an amateur and am basing this on posts written by structural engineers/architects, but I may have misunderstood something. If you want guaranteed correct answers, you should hire a structural engineer.

I had the same feeling with the same half of the house losing all its interior walls.
I am also an amateur (if that wasn't already obvious) and will definitely contact a professional if it becomes relevant to tear down.
But with your feedback, it feels like it's worth moving forward anyway.
Maybe open a portal in the "yellow" wall instead of tearing it down completely, or does that affect too much too?

A portal/large opening is indeed better because then there remains a piece of wall by the windows that stabilizes the house.
