Madonnastatuen, Mountain sculpture in Sigdal, Norway
The Madonna statue, made of light granite, stands at an elevation of 1,020 meters above sea level at Bjønneskortenatten in western Eggedal mountains.
Anne Margrethe Bugge donated a forest area to Sigdal municipality in 1989 with the requirement that a Madonna statue be constructed on the land.
The statue, created by Norwegian artist Turid Angell Eng, received an official Catholic Church blessing during its inauguration on June 20, 2009.
Visitors can access the statue via a 3-kilometer stone-paved trail starting from the Utvollane parking area, with an elevation gain of 326 meters.
Nepalese sherpas constructed the path to the statue between 2016 and 2019, incorporating traditional stone-laying techniques into the Norwegian landscape.
