Attractions

The large stone grave Stuehøj ( Eng . Stubenhügel - also called Harpagers Høj) is in the north of the urban area.

Pastor Møhls Høj (also called Præstens Høj, Ølstykke Maglehøj or Maglehøi) is a burial mound from the Early Bronze Age (2000–1000 BC). It is located east of Ølstykke Church. The mound was excavated in the late 1830s by Pastor Knud Eskild Møhl (1805–1890), who found only a few stone tools. This could indicate that the hill had been looted.

Pastor Møhl converted the hill into a romantic garden with paths and viewpoints and set three rune stones , which he had made and inscribed with. A memory of his first wife, who died on the way home from Tranquebar . The text on the stones is apparently "translated" into Old Norse and written with a mixture of old and new Futhark .
