Dolmen de la Maison des Fées, Neolithic dolmen in Miré, France.

The Dolmen de la Maison des Fées features a large trapezoidal capstone supported by four sandstone pillars forming a square burial chamber.

Dating from the Neolithic period, this megalithic structure received official recognition as a historical monument through classification in 1911.

Local traditions connect this megalithic monument to fairy legends, with markings on the capstone interpreted as impressions of mythical beings.

The dolmen stands near local roads in the Maine-et-Loire department, with documentation available at the Médiathèque du patrimoine in Charenton-le-Pont.

Construction work for a road ditch resulted in damage to the northwestern support pillar and altered the original layout of this ancient burial site.
