Hunebedden are ancient burial mounds found primarily in the northeastern part of the Netherlands. These structures date back to the Neolithic period, around 5,000 years ago, and were built by the Funnelbeaker culture. They consist of large stones, known as megaliths, arranged in a specific way to create a chamber for burials. The hunebedden served as communal graves for families or clans, reflecting the social structure of the time. Today, they are important archaeological sites and attract visitors interested in prehistoric history and archaeology. Many hunebedden are preserved and protected as part of the cultural heritage of the region.
