Kong Renes Høj Long Dolmen

Highlight • Historical Site

Legend has it that King Rene and his Queen are buried here.

Just south of Tranekær you turn off the county road to Strandby. After 600 m follow the side road south towards Pæregård. At the southern edge of the forest, immediately to the west of the path, is one burial mound, a long dolmen, on a cultivated field, while the other - a passage grave - can be found 100 m further north at the edge of the forest.

The dolmen is approx. 22 x 10 m and oriented NNE-SSW. The curbstones have not survived, but at the north end of the hill you can see a narrow, partially ruined dolmen chamber, built at the same time as the hill. The small oval passage burial chamber at the southern end is more recent. 8 supporting stones support the two large, curved capstones. In front of the east side of the chamber, on the surface of the mound, are the tops of a pair of supporting stones belonging to the passage. Not excavated.
