Grønsalen

The Grønsalen burial mound extends 100 meters in length and 10 meters in width, surrounded by 134 large stones forming a complete circle.

Built around 3500 BC during the Neolithic period, this monument received its first documented mention in 1186 under the name Grónesund.

The burial chambers inside the mound contain three separate compartments that demonstrate the burial traditions of early Northern European communities.

The site maintains two accessible burial chambers for examination, with the structure rising over one meter above the surrounding ground level.

This monument stands as the largest long barrow in Denmark, containing archaeological evidence that connects modern visitors to Neolithic burial practices.
