Megalithic tomb

The rectangular stone chamber measures 20 meters in length and 3.5 meters in width, constructed from massive sandstone slabs arranged vertically.

Local miller discovered the tomb in 1894 while removing sandstone blocks from his field, leading to archaeological investigations in 1939 and 1949.

The sandstone slabs inside the chamber display carved symbols interpreted as representations of agricultural practices from Neolithic European societies.

The monument includes an accessible viewing area where visitors can examine the stone construction techniques used by prehistoric builders.

The tomb contains a small anteroom featuring a circular opening called the soul hole, connecting the realm of living with deceased.
