Jättestugan, popularly known by locals as Jättestugan – 'The giant's home' – is a largely eroded dolmen in Helsingborg, Sweden, dating back to the Funnelbeaker culture between 3500 and 2800 BC. The dolmen's rectangular chamber was approximately 2.8 meters long and 1.4 meters wide. Three substantial support stones uphold a meter-thick roof stone, measuring 2.5 by 2.5 meters. Nine cup marks, a common form of petroglyph in Nordish regions, can be found on the roof stone. These are known as 'trammel stones'. Jättestugan is tracked by RAÄ as Kvistofta 14:1.
