Statue of Charles IX in Göteborg, Bronze equestrian monument at Kungsportsplatsen, Göteborg, Sweden
The statue portrays King Charles IX mounted on horseback, dressed in full military armor, crafted by sculptor John Börjeson in 1904.
King Charles IX, who ruled Sweden from 1604 to 1611, consolidated Protestant rule during a period of religious tension between Protestantism and Catholicism.
The bronze monument represents Swedish monarchical heritage and stands as a testament to early 20th-century commemorative public art in Göteborg.
The statue stands at the intersection of Östra Larmgatan and Kungsportsplatsen, accessible from central Göteborg's main pedestrian areas.
In 1977, thieves removed the statue's 17-kilogram sword and spur, which were later recovered in Lysekil and are now displayed at the Museum of Göteborg.
