House of Megaliths in
Wéris

Wéris, the place to be in
Belgium if you are looking for megaliths, also, Wéris is one
of the most beautiful villages in Wallonia.
In the House of Megaliths you can
find
information about Wéris, the megaliths, the village and
hiking
possibilities in the surrounding countryside. We sell maps, brochures,
postcards and souvenirs and we have a cafeteria where you can enjoy
refreshments.
The museum illustrates the way of life of the first farming communities
by way of displays, objects, models, reconstructions and an audiovisual
presentation. Here in Wéris, a site unique in Belgium lived
a
Neolithic community some 5000 years ago. These people transported huge
blocks of puddingstone rocks downhill to this plateau to build their
dolmens (gallery graves) and menhirs (standing stones).
Guided walks are possible when reservations are made, preferably two
weeks in advance.
