Kong Svends Høj

The rectangular burial chamber stretches 12.5 meters in length and features tall kerbstones measuring approximately 1.5 meters in height around its perimeter.

The passage grave dates back to 3200 BC and reflects advanced construction techniques from the middle Neolithic period, when the Funnel Beaker culture flourished.

The burial structure contains a trapezoidal chamber with 22 support stones and seven capstones, demonstrating the engineering capabilities of Neolithic communities.

The monument maintains its western entrance passage, contrary to typical eastern orientations found in other Neolithic graves throughout Denmark.

Archaeological excavations in 1941 revealed that the grave's gable stones reach nearly 4 meters high, with two guard stones originally positioned at its northwestern facade.
