Haväng dolmen, Neolithic dolmen in Haväng, Sweden
The stone burial chamber features a large porphyry capstone resting on supporting stones, forming a structure measuring 1.65 by 0.60 meters internally.
Discovered during storms in 1843, excavations conducted in 1869 revealed human skeletal remains and a flint axe within the burial chamber.
The chamber entrance alignment with equinox sunrises demonstrates the ancient builders' mathematical and astronomical knowledge from 5000 years ago.
Visitors can reach the monument by following marked paths from the designated parking area near Haväng beach in Simrishamn Municipality.
The burial chamber entrance permits sunlight to shine directly inside between 06:00 and 06:20 during both spring and autumn equinoxes.
