Sieben Steinhäuser, Neolithic dolmen group in Osterheide, Germany.

The Sieben Steinhäuser consists of five megalithic tombs constructed with massive stone slabs arranged in rectangular chambers on the Lüneburg Heath.

These burial structures, dating from 3500 to 2800 BCE, were built by early farming communities of the funnelbeaker culture in Lower Saxony.

The largest tomb, known as Grave D, features an enormous capstone measuring 16 by 14 feet supported by seven stone pillars.

Visitors can access the archaeological site only during weekends and public holidays through a designated route starting at the Ostenholz barrier.

Four of the graves underwent professional excavation and restoration between 1924 and 1937, with protective earthen walls added in 1958.
