Troldkirken, Neolithic burial site in Sønderholm, Denmark

The stone structure extends 50 meters in length and 12 meters in width, featuring 47 large stones surrounding a central burial chamber.

Constructed during the Funnelbeaker culture period approximately 5,000 years ago, Troldkirken received official protection status in 1809 as a prehistoric monument.

The name translates to Church of the Troll, referring to local tales about supernatural beings disturbed by the sounds of Sønderholm church bells.

The Historical Museum of Northern Jutland in Aalborg maintains this archaeological site, which remains open for visitors throughout the year.

The capstone weighs approximately 7,000 kilograms and sits atop the dolmen as part of the megalithic structure's impressive formation.
