Louisenlund, some 3.5 kilometres east of Østermarie on the Danish island of Bornholm, is a site with one of Denmark's largest collection of megaliths [1]. The stones stand alone or in small groups [1]. As the site has not been archeologically investigated, it is not known why the stones were raised there [1]. Louisenlund was bought by King Frederik VII when he visited Bornholm in 1851 [1]. He named it after his mistress, Countess Louise Danner [1].
