Load-bearing wall?

[Sjöholm94]

Hi,

I wonder if anyone can guess whether the wall is load-bearing? I guess it isn't since it runs along with the rafter. To the left is the chimney.

There is often a standing beam that is part of the truss, so you cannot remove it without rebuilding the adjacent trusses. See here what a truss typically looks like when there is a sloped roof: https://www.byggahus.se/sa-fungerar-en-takstol#10335-traditionella-takstolar
Then you build the interior walls based on where the support legs are so that they are not visible.

On the far left, you can see a beam, it should be that one, right?

Not certain if that's just a support post; trusses can have different constructions in such old houses. Can't say much more from that picture.

Is it a log house?

Not necessarily the only one that is a supporting beam, trusses can have different constructions in such old houses. It's hard to say more just from that picture.

Is it a log house?

No, it's not, it's a brick house.
Brick cavity brick.

It's a pity because there's someone in the forum who knows a lot about log houses.

Any construction drawings?
But probably it's not possible to get further in the forum.

It was a shame because there is someone in the forum who knows a lot about timber houses.

Any construction drawings?
But it's probably not possible to get further in the forum.

Unfortunately, no construction drawings, will have to take some more photos and ask an engineer to take a look at it.
