Kong Svends Høj

Kong Svends Hoj (King Svend's Mound) is a Neolithic passage grave on the island of Lolland in Denmark, north of Pederstrup, dating to around 3200 BC. Attributed to the Funnel Beaker culture, it features a burial chamber 12.5 meters long constructed from 17 supporting stones and 6 covering stones, making it one of Denmark's largest and most famous passage graves. The rectangular mound is surrounded by kerbstones reaching approximately 1.5 meters in height, among the tallest recorded in any Neolithic tomb. First excavated in 1780 by a Danish prime minister, the entrance was not discovered until restoration work in 1942.
