Poskær Stenhus, Protected ancient burial monument in Mols, Denmark

The burial chamber features a central capstone weighing 11 tonnes, encircled by 23 tall granite slabs forming a perfect circular pattern.

In 1859, landowner Ole Hansen's attempt to extract stones from the monument led to its official protection status with compensation of 100 rigsdaler.

The construction methods used by Stone Age builders to transport and position these massive granite slabs remain a subject of archaeological study.

Located near Knebel village in southern Djursland, the site maintains year-round access for visitors interested in prehistoric Danish monuments.

The main capstone originated from a larger granite block, with its other half now serving as the capstone of nearby Agri Dyssen monument.
