Prinsehøje are two burial mounds that lie next to each other. Frederik VII, who was very interested in archaeology, had one mound excavated when he was crown prince. Hence the name Prinsehøje. Unfortunately, we do not know what he found in the grave.
The excavated mound dates from the Stone Age, approx. 3,500 BCE In the cover stone you can see 19 bowl signs. These are rock carvings – small depressions which are believed to be symbols of fertility. A narrow passage leads into the dowel chamber on the excavated mound.
