Løjerthus dolmen
The Løjerthus dolmen is a dolmen in the northwest of Kulhuse on the Isefjord , near Jægerspris in the north of Hornsherred on the Danish island of Zealand . The megalithic complex from the Neolithic Age was built by the people of the Funnel Beaker Culture (TBK) between 3500 and 2800 BC. Built in BC.
The rectangular, north-south oriented chamber of the dolmen, which is still partially located in the approximately 1.0 m high remaining hill, measures 1.2 × 0.7 m. The large capstone is supported by four bearing stones. An entrance and intermediate masonry are not visible.
In the north of Kulhuse to the east there are three oaks : Snoegen, Storkeegen and Kongeegen , which are Denmark's oldest trees. They are around 600, 800 and 1500 years old. This makes the Kongeegen the oldest oak in Europe.
Nearby are the circular dyssers at Hjortegårdene and passage grave 3 at Hjortegårdene .
