The stone box of Loftsgård (also called Lousgaard Stenkiste) lies between the Melstedvej and the northeast coast, southeast of Melsted in Østerlarsker in Gudhjem on the Danish island of Bornholm .

The excavated stone box ( Danish light box ) lies in the center of a centrally cleared ring about 8.0 m in diameter and 0.5 m high. It measures 1.0 × 2.0 m inside and is made of large, angular stones with flat sides facing inwards. At the edge of the Röse, angular granite stones can be seen in the east and south .

About 700 m to the north-west, on the Kobbeå burial ground , there are several loops and a stone box.
