The 72 Large Permanent Replicas

List of the 72 large permanent replicas (it has grown a little since the Daily Beast last checked!). It would take a whole lot of traveling but if you got permissions for the ones on private property, you could visit them all! (Arctic Henge is, as far as we know, still under construction.) At the end we added a list of large replicas no longer with us.

There is a spectrum of accuracy in Stonehenge replicas, from full-sized careful reproductions to little garden varieties to the single trilithon. It’s a sliding scale, but we have marked the most Stonehenge-like replicas with a  ∏. Even among these, size and accuracy vary.

We may yet add to this–we suspect there are more lurking elsewhere. There’s the Circle of Stones at Rickman’s Castle in Tennessee, for one, and a Canadian town that announced it was building one.  We haven’t yet posted the Dragon Stones in Yorkshire. We know there are Stonehenge sculptures and fountains waiting to be discovered. (And then there’s that strange Nazi linteled circle near Ludwikowice. What’s with that?) Please let us know of any permanent Stonehenge replicas we have missed. Surely Russia and India must each have at least one! And if you can get us pictures of some of the more obscure ones like the library replica (not the one at Nong Nooch) in Pattaya, Thailand, it would be much appreciated.)

[Note: At present, with 5 on this list, Washington State is in possession of the title of The Stonehenge State! And Germany is rockin' it internationally.]
