Sparresminde Passage Grave

The trees on and around the grave has been removed, finally someone has done something, and as my father said when he saw the grave without the trees: "it´s actually big". Now I hope more of Møn´s "forgotten graves" will be cleared from vegetation!

This passage grave was/is reckoned for being one of Møns most beautiful and most complete buildings.

The path leading to the grave has disappeared, but it should be possible to get through the entrance. Once inside it is not recommended to stand up and walk around, unless you like to bang your head into an ironbar that is !

It was protected by law in the year 1845, but had already been excavated probably by the steward Sparre, no finds were reported though !

The chamber is 10 meters long and has the typical shape of the passage graves on Møn: narrowest at the middle becoming wider at both sides. The entrance is 7 meters long.

The passage grave is situated at Sparresminde northeast of Æbelnæs.

But remember: Beware of your head if you make it into the chamber itself !!!
