Julianehøj, Archaeological site in Odsherred, Denmark

The Julianehøj archaeological site contains a stone-paved burial chamber with decorated walls and sculptures integrated into the surrounding landscape.

During excavations in 1776, Prince Frederick oversaw archaeological investigations that transformed the ancient burial site into a memorial for Queen Juliane-Marie.

The sculptures by John Wiedewelt at Julianehøj merge ancient burial traditions with eighteenth-century Danish royal commemorative practices.

The site includes interpretative panels explaining the archaeological discoveries and subsequent modifications made during the late eighteenth century.

The transformation of Julianehøj from a prehistoric burial mound into a royal memorial represents the intersection of archaeology and monarchical tribute.
