Menhirs of Oppagne, Prehistoric menhirs in Oppagne, Belgium

Three tall standing stones form a linear arrangement in an agricultural field near Oppagne, situated one kilometer northwest of the village center.

The stones were first documented in 1888, then excavated in 1906, revealing human bone fragments, flint tools, and an arrowhead at their base.

The stones connect to other megalithic structures in the region, forming parallel alignments with the dolmens and menhirs of Weris valley.

The site remains accessible throughout the year, with visitors reaching the menhirs through a dedicated pathway connecting to the main road.

A tree growing near the stones serves as a fever tree where people tie ribbons following local traditions and beliefs.
