Amanda, Granite statue in Kerteminde, Denmark.

The Amanda statue stands prominently in Kerteminde, featuring a full-figure representation crafted entirely from solid granite by sculptor Robert Lund-Jensen.

Created in 1954, the statue draws inspiration from Sophie Krag, a 19th-century Kerteminde native who pursued an acting career in Copenhagen.

The statue represents the daughters of Kerteminde and connects to a Danish song 'Harper i luften' that mentions Amanda from Kerteminde.

Located at coordinates 55.447273, 10.6587831, the statue serves as a central reference point for visitors exploring the Kerteminde municipality.

The name Amanda, derived from Latin meaning 'the one who should be loved,' reflects the statue's role as a symbol of forgiveness and reconciliation.
