Maison des Mégalithes
About

Maison des Mégalithes in Wéris, near Durbuy, serves as the gateway to one of Belgium’s most remarkable prehistoric landscapes. Set in a charming village, the centre introduces visitors to the region’s dolmens and menhirs, impressive stone monuments erected around 5,000 years ago by early Neolithic farming communities. Inside, a small museum explains how these ancient builders lived, worked, and shaped the land, offering clear insights into their tools, rituals, and daily life. The site also provides walking routes that lead to the megalithic field, where two dolmens and dozens of standing stones still mark the terrain. A welcoming café and shop add to the experience, making it an ideal starting point for exploring both the archaeological heritage and the natural beauty of the area. Maison des Mégalithes blends education and atmosphere, allowing visitors to step into a distant past that continues to define the identity of Wéris today.
