Duvels Kut

Duvels Kut is a Neolithic stone burial chamber made from upright supporting stones and capstones arranged in a rectangular form near Rolde. The monument sits close to the Gasterse Duinen nature area and features multiple chamber sections.

The tomb was built between 4000 and 3000 BCE by the Funnel Beaker culture and received its name from a Renaissance-era cartographer. It has been studied and maintained through the following millennia.

The structure shows how early farming communities honored their dead and connects to a broader network of megalithic sites across the Netherlands. Visitors can sense how important such places were to these ancient societies.

The monument sits in a nature area and is accessible via walking paths that run north of Gasteren village. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes since the ground can be uneven.

During restoration work in the 1950s, archaeologists found a Roman gold coin from Emperor Valentinian I tucked among the stones. This reveals the monument attracted visitors from different eras across the ages.
