Duvels Kut

The stone burial chamber consists of multiple supporting stones and capstones, arranged in a rectangular formation near the Gasterse Duinen nature area.

Built between 4000 and 3000 BCE by the Funnel Beaker culture, this megalithic tomb received its name from Renaissance-era cartographer Antonius Schoonhovius Batavus in 1547.

The structure represents ancient burial practices of early agricultural communities and forms part of a larger network of megalithic monuments across the Netherlands.

Located at coordinates 52.989817, 6.649256, the dolmen is accessible through walking paths in the natural area north of Gasteren village.

During restoration work in 1952, archaeologists discovered a Roman gold coin from Emperor Valentinian I among the ancient stone structures.
