The dolmens (Dutch: Hunebedden) are built by the Funnel Beaker culture around 3000 BC. This culture piled the heavy boulders from the area together to make a grave monument. In Drouwen there is a set of two dolmens, a so-called duo-hunebed. Such duos are not very common in the Netherlands.
On the photo you see Dolmen (Dutch: Hunebed) D19. Excavations under D19 uncovered remains of 400 pots, 13 flint axes, 9 barn stone pearls, 6 pieces cupper and human remains.
This makes D19 one of the few hunebedden containing human remains...
Hunebed D19 is covered by five of his eight original capstones.

Just outside Drouwen in Drenthe, the Nederlands these two dolmens (Dutch: hunebedden) lie very close to each other and for that reason they are sometimes called the “Twins of Drouwen”.
The first dolmen / hunebed in Drouwen 'D19' on the right is 15.5 meters long and 3.5 meters wide. The letter 'D' stands for 'Drenthe'. The hunebed consists of nine trilithons. A trilithon is a set of two upright side stones with a lying capstone on top. Of the nine capstones, the hunebed has five more. Four gate side stones are present at the entrance of this hunebed.
The second dolmen / hunebed D20 on the left has a length of 11.3 meters and a width of 3.4 meters. D20 is made up of seven trilithons. One capstone is missing. This dolmen / hunebed also had two trilithons as an entrance party. Another four port side stones are left. The hunebed has had a stone wreath. Most of these cornerstones are still around the hunebed.

Hard to be original when it comes to photographing Hunebeds (= Dolmen in English) in Drenthe. So my idea was to wait until dusk, find a nice Hunebed (D27 at Borger in this case) and photograph it from the side, when lit by speedlights from the inside. Then all I had to do was finding the right mix between ambient and artificial light through ISO, Aperture and Shutter settings. Well, that didn't work out: the Hunebed was too big, or you could say, my speedlights were not powerful enough to obtain the desired effect. So I grabbed my tripod, got on my knees and shot the Hunebed from the inside, in conjunction with the speedlights of course. Ah, much better! :)

In the woods near the Dutch town of Schoonoord in Drenthe lies one of the most famous dolmens (Dutch: Hunebed) in the Netherlands. It is nicknamed 'the Papeless Church' (Dutch: De Papeloze Kerk).
In Drenthe there are many folk tales about this dolmen. In the 16th century there would have been talks of the famous protestant preacher Menso Alting at this location; he would have used the dolmen as a kind of pulpit.
This hunebed is nicknamed 'the Papeless Church'. In the 16th century, when Protestants in the Netherlands were still being prosecuted, so-called hedge-talks (illegal church services) of Protestants were held here. One would start calling the dolmen at the 'Papeless Church', because of course no 'papen' (Catholic priests) spoke in these services. The Protestant preachers would have used the dolmen as a kind of pulpit.

A dolmen, also known as a cromlech, portal tomb, portal grave or quoit, is a type of single-chamber megalithic tomb, usually consisting of two or more megaliths supporting a large flat horizontal capstone ("table"), although there are also more complex variants. Most date from the early Neolithic (4000-3000 BCE). Dolmens were typically covered with earth or smaller stones to form a tumulus. In many instances, that covering has weathered away, leaving only the stone "skeleton" of the burial mound intact.
Europe, Netherlands, Drenthe, Aa en Hunze, Balloo, Hunebed (uncut)
The landscape of Drenthe…..its long history is evocated by the lazy rhythm of the pushed moraines (stuwwallen), ancient burial mounds, megalithic dolmen (hunebedden) and ‘Celtic’ fields….they give it a slightly mysterious feel, especially when you hike through it with the sun low in the sky with a little mist above the horizon.
The Hunebed (dolmen / portal tomb) on display here is number D16 (there are 54 in Drenthe) and is near Balloo. It’s a single-chamber megalithic tomb, consisting of 2 rows of 9 upright stones which support 8 capstones (one stone is missing). At both ends of the hunebed are closing stones. Hunebedden are an artifact of the Neolithic 'Funnelneck beaker' culture (ca 4300 BC–ca 2800 BC) – it was a sedentary culture formed by the first farmers of Northern Europe.
The stones used for the hunebedden were not local, they originated from the Baltic and were pushed to this region by the giant gletschers of the second ice age, 150.000 years ago.
After assembly, the big stones were either covered with dirt or with smaller stones to form a barrow or a cairn. In many instances, that cover disappeared thru erosion, leaving only the stone skeleton of the burial mound intact. Hunebedden were probably not used as primary graves but as ossuaries.
(During our Peleponnesos (Greece) tour in 2013 we visited ancient Lerna in the Argolis, which was founded in the Early Neolithicum. Long before that that we visited the Oppidia d'Ensérune & de Nages in the Languedoc (France) which were founded at about the same time. When we were exploring Lerna we remembered that and realized that we still hadn't visited the Neolithic Hunebedden in Drente which are basically 'round the corner'. It took a while to 'correct' this, but now we did.)
[from hunebedden.nl] D53 is the second largest hunebed in the Netherlands (D27 is 'the first') and one with a remarkable history.
It counts 9 capstones, all of them resting nicely on their foundations, consisting of 23 sidestones and 2 endstones. There is a complete porch with 4 passage sidestones and 1 capstone. Of the big oval wrench, 10 kerbstones are still there.
Under the supervision of Professor Van Giffen D53 has been the subject of a thorough archaeologic research and not without success. In and under the floor of the burial chamber, researchers found potsherds of 665 pieces of pottery, 3 stone axes, an arrow-point, a bludgeon, and 4 amber beads. Never before so many artifacts had been found in a hunebed.
In 1945 the fate of this marvelous hunebed seemed to be sealed. The German Army that occupied the Netherlands demanded this megalithic monument to be dismantled for the construction of an airfield. The inevitable demolition took place, but the Dutch authorities had taken their precautions: all 50 big and smaller boulders were pushed into a 6 meter deep pit in the ground by a shovel. Immediately after the war the stones were dug up again and in 1949 the restoration started. In 1950 the hunebed was restored.
Hunebedden are the oldest monuments in The Netherlands. They were erected 3500 years ago by the first farmers, from Scandinavian rocks transported south by glaciers during the ice ages. The tree is of a later date.

Hunebed D17 ligt in de nabijheid van Rolde in de Nederlandse provincie Drenthe.
Het hunebed ligt ten noordoosten van Rolde in de omgeving van het kerkhof en de Sint-Jacobskerk op de es. In de onmiddellijke omgeving ligt nog een tweede hunebed D18. Het laatste hunebed is 'gerestaureerd' door Joan Lodewijk Gerhard Gregory en ziet er 'netter' uit, hunebed D17 is meer een ruïne.
Het hunebed is tussen 3400 en 3200 v.Chr. opgericht en wordt toegeschreven aan de trechterbekercultuur.
Het hunebed heeft acht dekstenen, maar deze liggen niet meer allemaal op hun plaats. Er zijn ook nog 15 draagstenen, 2 sluitstenen en 2 poortzijstenen. De poort is gericht op het zuiden. Het hunebed is 13,9 meter breed en 3,8 meter lang.
De vermoedelijk eerste vermelding van dit hunebed stamt uit 1547. In een geschrift uit die tijd wordt melding gemaakt van de Zuilen van Hercules, die zich in vico Roelden (= Rolde) zouden bevinden. Op de zuilen ligt een offersteen en via een nauwe doorgang kon men onder de stenen komen. Volgens de monnik werden hier voor de komst van Bonifatius mensen geofferd.
Mensen, bij voorkeur vreemdelingen, werden gedwongen door de nauwe doorgang onder de altaarstenen te kruipen, terwijl ze met mest bekogeld werden.
De naam van het geheel was 's Duvels Kut (= kont van de duivel). De beschrijving zou ook kunnen slaan op hunebed D18 of D10.
D17 is in 1706 door S. Hofstede en schultes Kymmell onderzocht, zij vonden een blauwe pot met vergulde strepen.
Beide hunebedden werden door de Boermarke van Rolde voor 150 gulden verkocht na bemiddeling door burgemeester Alexander Carel Jan Frederik Bouwmeester. Eerst wilde men de hunebedden openbaar verkopen, maar Gedeputeerde Staten van Drenthe protesteerde en na een advies van het Ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken werden de hunebedden aan het Rijk verkocht (in 1872 hunebed D17 en D18 volgde een jaar later).
In 1905 golden ze als een van de weinige archeologische bezienswaardigheden van Nederland. Er zijn veel ansichtkaarten verschenen met deze hunebedden erop, waarschijnlijk zijn deze hunebedden vaker afgebeeld dan alle andere in Nederland.
Van Giffen beschreef dit hunebed als "in droevigen staat"
In 1964 zocht men naar (sporen van) kransstenen,maar deze werden niet aangetroffen. Het hunebed is gerestaureerd tussen 1957 en 1965.
Volgens Robert Dehon zouden in het hunebed wat links ligt (als je met je rug naar de kerk staat) inscripties te vinden zijn.
Society of Antiquaries
In Engeland ontstond in de jaren zeventig van de 19e eeuw bezorgdheid over de wijze waarop in Nederland hunebedden werden gerestaureerd. In die kringen was men vooral bezorgd dat met de restauraties het oorspronkelijk beeld van de situatie verloren zou gaan. De directeur van de Society of Antiquaries in Londen verzocht de oudheidkundigen William Collings Lukis en sir Henry Dryden om de staat waarin de hunebedden zich op dat moment bevonden nauwkeurig vast te leggen. Zij bezochten in juli 1878 Drenthe en brachten veertig hunebedden op de Hondsrug in kaart. Ze hebben opmetingen verricht en beschreven de aangetroffen situatie, die zij tevens vastlegden in een serie aquarellen. Hun rapportage aan de Society of Antiquaries verscheen echter niet in druk. Hun materiaal werd bewaard bij de Society of Antiquaries, het Guernsey Museum & Art Gallery en het Drents Museum. Het Ashmolean Museum in Oxford bezit kopieën van hun werk. In 2015 publiceerde de Drentse archeoloog dr. Wijnand van der Sanden alsnog hun werk. Hij voorzag hun materiaal van een uitgebreide inleiding. Ook schetste hij de ontwikkelingen met betrekking tot het archeologisch onderzoek van de hunebedden na hun onderzoek tot 2015. Hij gaf als oordeel dat het werk van Lukis en Dryden van hoge kwaliteit was. In het Drents Museum was in 2015 een tentoonstelling over het werk.
Hunebed D17 is weergegeven op Plan XII:1 Er waren nog 7 dekstenen en 17 draagstenen. Er was geen spoor va een dekheuvel. Het hunebed was beschadigd door een eik. Een eerdere beschrijving door de archeoloog Janssen was, volgens Lukis, niet correct.
Afbeeldingen
De hunebedden van Rolde zijn door diverse schilders vereeuwigd. Hunebed D17 is een van de meest afgebeelde hunebedden van Nederland. Het verscheen op schilderijen, tegels en ansichtkaarten.
De afbeelding bij dit artikel is van de hand van de Alkmaarse schilder Bernardus Gerardus ten Berge, gemaakt in 1856 en geëxposeerd op de tentoonstelling van Levende Meesters in Groningen als Op een kerkhof - herinnering aan Drenthe (Wikipedia).
A hunebed or dolmen is a megalithic burial chamber
They were built between 3350 and 3050 BC in the westernmost spur of the territory of the Funnel Beaker culture.
dolmen dans l'est des Côtes d'Armor (Bretagne, France)
A dolmen (also known as cromlech, anta, Hünengrab, Hunebed, quoit, and portal dolmen) is a type of single-chamber megalithic tomb, usually consisting of three or more upright stones (megaliths) supporting a large flat horizontal capstone (table). Most date from the early Neolithic period (4000 BC to 3000 BC). Dolmens were usually covered with earth or smaller stones to form a barrow, though in many cases that covering has weathered away, leaving only the stone "skeleton" of the burial mound intact.
