Gettlinge grave field

The Gettlinge grave field extends two kilometers along the western coast of Öland, featuring numerous stone formations and burial monuments from different periods.

Archaeological examinations of 15 graves at the site revealed continuous usage spanning 2,000 years, from 1000 BC through the Viking Age until 1050 AD.

The burial ground contains 23 granite boulders arranged in a 30-meter stone ship formation, reflecting ancient Nordic burial traditions and ceremonial practices.

The grave field stands next to Länsväg 136 between Klinta and Gettlinge villages, offering direct access and parking facilities for visitors exploring the site.

Two limestone blocks reaching three meters in height stand adjacent to the stone ship, marking significant positions within this extensive prehistoric cemetery.
