Odry, Archaeological site in Pomerania, Poland
Odry is an archaeological site in Pomerania featuring twelve stone circles, each with a central standing stone, surrounded by thousands of burial mounds across forested terrain. The site spans over forty acres and represents one of Europe's largest collections of such structures.
The site was established during the first and second centuries by the Wielbark culture as a major burial center. Over six hundred graves document how this location served multiple generations as a place for the dead.
These stone circles served as burial grounds where the Wielbark culture honored their deceased members. Visitors today can observe how the arrangement of stones reflects the beliefs and practices of these ancient communities.
The site sits roughly ninety kilometers southwest of Gdansk and welcomes visitors throughout the year except Mondays. Walking paths connect the different stone circles and allow comfortable exploration of the forested grounds.
Satellite imagery has revealed hidden stone circles and burial mounds beneath the forest vegetation that researchers had not previously documented. These discoveries suggest the original cemetery was far more extensive than once believed.
