Holašovické Stonehenge

Holašovické Stonehenge, Megalithic circle in Jankov, Czech Republic

Holašovické Stonehenge is a modern stone circle of 25 stones, one of them central, built at the end of August 2008 on Václav Jílek's land to the design of engineer Pavel Kozák. About 200 metres southeast of the circle stands a separate large menhir, later joined by a smaller one. A small pond bordered by trees and menhirs and a low mound with an information board form the rest of the grounds.

Václav Jílek dug the first boulder around 2000 on Holašovice village square, where it had long obstructed mowing, then gathered more stones from within 15 km. The circle of 25 stones, one central, was built at the end of August 2008 on Jílek's land to a design by engineer Pavel Kozák. On 25 June 2011 about 30 people hauled an eight-tonne flat block onto three menhirs to form a dolmen.

The site is used for cultural events, celebrations and concerts, and the summer solstice was marked there on 25 June 2011, when about 30 people hauled an eight-tonne flat boulder on wooden sledges to form a dolmen. A board at the foot of the hill gives an "instruction manual" for using the menhirs. Many visitors feel nothing and call the whole thing a fraud.

The site lies on open ground a few hundred metres from Holašovice's village square, reached by a path marked with arrows from the square. There is no shelter on the lawn, and the ground around the stones and the small pond can be uneven. A separate tall menhir stands about 200 metres southeast of the circle.

About 200 metres southeast of the circle stands a separate large menhir, later joined by a smaller one. On 25 June 2011 around 30 people hauled an eight-tonne flat boulder on wooden sledges to form a dolmen, with heavy machinery lifting it onto three menhirs.
