Thor's Fight with the Giants, Bronze statue in Odense Municipality, Denmark
The statue presents Thor in a battle stance against giants, with Mjölnir raised high and detailed muscular forms across the entire composition.
Created by Carl Johan Bonnesen in 1918, the statue underwent a complex relocation from Thorø island to Odense in winter 1957.
The sculpture reflects Denmark's renewed interest in Norse mythology during the 19th century, influencing artistic expressions throughout the country.
Located near the former Haustrup Factories on Næsbyvej, the monument stands elevated for enhanced visibility from multiple viewing angles.
The transportation process required separating Thor from his hammer and temporarily modifying power lines during a night-time operation.
