Dolmen van Jolybos

Modern monument in Oost-Vlaanderen

In the 19th century, the "Bois Joly" was the property of Edouard-Joseph Joly (1812-1887), lawyer, banker, and also archaeologist in his spare time. He assembled a sizeable collection of artefacts from excavations in nearby tumuli – now preserved for the main part in the "Musée du Centenaire", Mons, and "Metropolitan Museum", New York.
In 1850-1860, he designed his park by incorporating monuments inspired by what was at that time believed to be "druidish", like this bilith (here called dolmen), set up at the top of the hill overlooking his entire property.
Today, the dolmen also overlooks the "Nieuwe Kerkhof" (the new cemetery).

Dolmen van Jolybos submitted by Alta-Falisa : Historical suite. # 2 of 4. Undated photo. Judging by the vegetation, it is definitely more recent than # 1. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Dolmen van Jolybos submitted by Alta-Falisa : Historical suite. # 4 of 4. A similar postcard was post-stamped "1909" ; this allows, by comparing the progress of the vegetation, to sort them out chronologically. (Vote or comment on this photo)
