D49, Neolithic dolmen in Noord-Sleen, Netherlands
The stone structure D49 contains multiple stone blocks arranged in a chamber formation with large capstones resting on supporting stones.
Built between 3350 and 3030 BC by farmers of the Funnel-beaker culture, D49 predates both the Egyptian pyramids and Stonehenge.
The local name 'De Papeloze Kerk' meaning 'The Church without a Pope' reflects its later use as a platform for reformed religious services.
Located along Slenerweg road N376, the megalithic tomb remains accessible to visitors interested in exploring ancient burial structures.
The dolmen suffered substantial damage during the 1860s when people used its stones as building materials, leading to restoration work in 1959.
