The dolmen Kong Humbles Grav (English: King Humble's Grave) is located northeast of Humble on the Danish island of Langeland. It originated in the Neolithic period between 3500 and 2800 BC as a megalithic structure of the Funnel Beaker culture.
Kong Humbles Grav is a long dolmen. Due to its size and excellent state of preservation, it is Langeland's most well-known prehistoric monument.

The north-south oriented mound measures approximately 55.0 × 9.0 m and is surrounded by 77 large rimstones, most of which are in situ. Approximately in the middle of the mound, a substantial chamber lies transversely, covered by a large, raised capstone.
The relatively large complex contains only one chamber, of which three bearing stones and the capstone have been preserved. The entrance is on the east side.

According to legend, King Humble, a legendary king, is buried here.

The best known of Langeland's great stone tombs. 55 meters long and 8 meters wide with 77 curbs.

Langeland's most famous and, according to many people, most beautiful monument of the past is the Langdyssen with the mythical name Kong Humble's Grave.

It is approximately 50 meters long and 8 meters wide and is set in open, cultivated countryside - on the hill directly opposite is Humble Church.
400 meters and 5,000 years separate the two religious buildings. An almost complete row of stones contributes to the monumental appearance. The long Dyssekammer has - which is unusual for such a large facility - only one chamber. But also the large vaulted capstone of the chamber gives the chamber a monumental appearance.

Registration in 1875
The registry in 1875 indicates that other remains of human bones were found by shallow excavations.
