The Bondekirkerne (Store and Lille Bondekirke - ( German  "big and small farmer's church" ) - also called Vaalse) are located at a distance of 250 m in the Vålse Vesterskov (forest) northwest of Vålse in the far northwest of the island of Falster in Denmark . There are megalithic systems of the funnel beaker culture (TBK), which between 3500 and 2800 BC. BC originated.

Store Bondekirke

The mound of the passage grave ( Danish Jættestue ) has been almost completely excavated and half of the chamber is exposed. The west-east oriented chamber is half filled with earth and has a length of about 5.1 m, with a width of 1.4 m. The chamber has 14 bearing stones (1 stone is missing in the south wall). A capstone has been preserved at each end, but has slipped inside. The western capstone is 1.0 m thick and measures 2.5 × 1.6 m. He wears bowls ( Danish Skåltegn ) on the top. The eastern cover stone is 1.1 m thick and measures 1.8 × 1.7 m. On the south side, a little off-center, there is a 5.3 m long, inside 0.9 m wide, almost completely earth-filled corridor of which seven stones can be seen on the east side and six on the west side. About 4.0 m north of the chamber is a larger stone in the forest.

Lille Bondekirke

Lille Bondekirke is a round dyssey with a corridor in a 2.3 m high hill with a diameter of 22.0 m. In the middle of the hill is a chamber filled with earth, the five bearing stones of which rise slightly above the surface. The interior of the chamber measures 1.8 × 1.45 m. The chamber of the polygonal dolmen is covered with an approximately 1.1 m thick capstone of 2.2 × 1.8 m. A 0.6 m wide corridor runs to the southeast.

There are three more, but more heavily damaged megalithic structures in the forest : A passage grave in an approximately 18.0 m long hill (Vålse Vesterskov Jættestue) and the circular dyssers 1 and 2.
