Hi. We have just bought a house and now want to take down a 70s "spaljé" as we call it, but it surely has a more correct name. However, we are starting to wonder if it might have some kind of load-bearing function and would thankfully appreciate help on the matter. Attached is a picture of the floor plan.

Best regards

Check if there is any truss resting on it. Applies to a single-story house.

This is because it seems to be a house with an angle.

A visit might be a good idea.
 
Below we have the entrance level and above we have an attic. I assume one examines the roof trusses in the attic 😉
 
The trellis appears to be part of a straight wall line, so there is a risk that it is load-bearing.
Is there a wall directly under the trellis on the entry floor?

Thank you for your opinion Protte. There is no wall directly underneath. Instead, it seems to be standing roughly in the middle of the "relaxation room" below.

The intermediate floor can be strong enough, perhaps concrete, to withstand the load from the upper floor.

Where is the ridge on the roof?
