The passage grave of Ormstrup ( Danish Ormstrup Jættestue - also called Nordenbro By or Tryggelev) is located on Stenbækvej at Tryggelev in Magleby on the Danish island of Langeland and is contrary to the old naming a dolmen and no passage grave . It dates from the Neolithic around 3000 BC. And is a megalithic system of the funnel beaker culture (TBK). The passage grave is a form of Neolithic megalithic systems, which consists of a chamber and a structurally separated, lateral passage. This form is primarily found in Denmark, Germany and Scandinavia, as well as occasionally in France and the Netherlands.
The free-standing chamber lies on a spit of the Klise- or Tryggelevnor. The north-south oriented remaining hill measures about 10.0 × 5.0 m. The hill has been removed on the east side. The west-east oriented transverse chamber is open in the east and measures 2.3 × 1.4 m. It is made up of three supporting stones. In the eastern part of the north wall there is a recently constructed drywall . A capstone with several bowls lies on top of the chamber .
The Ormstrup long barn is nearby .
