Follow in the footsteps of the hunebed builders!

The Hunebedcentrum (Hunebed Centre) in Borger, on the Hondsrug in Drenthe, takes you back to prehistory, to the time when the first farmers settled in Drenthe. These farmers built the impressive stone burial monuments, the remains of which can still be admired in the Drenthe landscape. There are 54 of them left standing, and the largest is right next to the centre.

Our museum tells the story of these mysterious megalithic tombs and the people who built them. It addresses questions such as who built them, how, and, more importantly, why. Many questions remain unanswered, but we'll offer a glimpse into the matter.

Next to the museum, the Prehistoric Park opened in 2014. There, you can experience how our ancestors lived on their farms. You can also take a walk through 150,000 years of Drenthe's history. Various replicas of prehistoric buildings and objects will give you a glimpse into our fascinating history. Children can also enjoy the barefoot path.
