Louisenlund, Archaeological site and forest in Bornholm regional municipality, Denmark.

Louisenlund contains more than 50 menhirs scattered throughout a wooded area, with many stones reaching heights over 2.5 meters.

King Frederik VII purchased this land in 1851 during his visit to Bornholm and named it after Countess Louise Danner.

The megaliths at this location stand on low mounds covering burial sites where ancient communities performed ceremonial practices around 1100 BC.

The archaeological site is accessible through a road junction connecting Østermarie to Svaneke, located 3.5 kilometers east of Østermarie.

These standing stones represent one of Denmark's largest collections of megaliths, forming an outdoor museum in a natural forest setting.
