For me that I am a freak of archeological sites, that was a great pleasant surprise. If you are into megalithic monuments you must pay a visit there.

Hard to say if this is anything, it probably depends on how you look at it. History is always exciting, but truth be told there's not much to see here. A few words on what you're looking at and the place itself. If you have a casual interest in the subject, I don't think this is worth going out of your way for, catch it if you happen to pass.

I don't think it's really worth driving there, quite nice if you come a long way

An interesting place and here you can fantasize about what it was like 5000 years ago. It has required organization and quite a lot of force to get the stones into place. The site is aligned with a unique procession route that archaeologists found a few km to the north and runs in the direction of Svedala. Around Skegriedösen is an open landscape and you can see far in all directions. Today's E6 between Trelleborg and Malmö runs right next to it with speeding cars in a different era.

Beckov Castle

The Beckov castle stands on a steep 50 m tall rock in the village Beckov. The dominance of the rock and impression of invincibility it gaves, challenged our ancestors to make use of these assets. The result is a remarkable harmony between the natural setting and architecture.

The castle first mentioned in 1200 was originally owned by the King and later, at the end of the 13th century it fell in hands of Matúš Èák. Its owners alternated - at the end of the 14th century the family of Stibor of Stiborice bought it.

The next owners, the Bánffys who adapted the Gothic castle to the Renaissance residence, improved its fortifications preventing the Turks from conquering it at the end of the 16th century. When Bánffys died out, the castle was owned by several noble families. It fell in decay after fire in 1729.

The history of the castle is the subject of different legends.
