Temple of Barger-Oosterveld, Prehistoric temple in Barger-Oosterveld, Netherlands.
The wooden temple structure measures two by two meters and stands encircled by carefully positioned stones within the moorland landscape of Emmen.
Archaeological excavations in 1957 revealed this religious site dating back to 1470 BC, connecting to the proto-Germanic Elp culture period.
The temple represents early religious practices of prehistoric communities in the Netherlands, with artifacts now preserved at the Drents Museum.
Visitors can explore the reconstructed temple site and learn about ancient Dutch religious ceremonies through dedicated exhibitions and educational programs.
This temple location in the former peat extraction area provides evidence of spiritual activities during the Bronze Age in the northern Netherlands.
