D54, Neolithic dolmen site in Havelte, Netherlands
The D54 megalithic structure features multiple enormous stone blocks arranged in a chamber formation, supported by vertical stones and covered with capstones.
Built between 3350 and 3030 BC by farmers of the Funnel-beaker Culture, D54 represents one of the 54 remaining ancient burial chambers in the Netherlands.
The local population named these structures hunebedden, believing they were constructed by giants called huynen according to regional Dutch traditions.
The archaeological site includes designated parking areas and marked walking paths, with information panels explaining the structure's features and historical context.
The massive stones used in D54's construction were naturally transported from Scandinavia by glaciers during the last Ice Age 200,000 years ago.
