Visbeker Braut, Megalithic archaeological site in Großenkneten, Germany.
The stone burial structure stretches 80 meters in length and 9 meters in width, featuring 105 boundary stones arranged in two parallel rows.
The megalithic tomb dates from 3500 to 2800 BCE and represents the architectural methods of the Funnel Beaker Culture in Lower Saxony.
The stone monument carries the name 'Visbeker Braut' from a regional tale about a bride who turned to stone to avoid an arranged marriage.
The site is accessible through a forest clearing west of Wildeshausen, near the A1 motorway and B213 federal road intersection.
The burial chamber measures 5.5 by 1.5 meters and contains ten support stones and four capstones, possibly serving as a Stone Age lunar observatory.
