Magnus Stenbocks staty, Bronze equestrian statue in Stortorget, Sweden

The monument depicts Field Marshal Magnus Stenbock mounted on horseback, cast in bronze, with his figure directing his gaze across the central square.

Created by sculptor John Börjeson in 1901, this statue honors Magnus Stenbock's leadership during the Swedish victory at the Battle of Helsingborg in 1710.

The statue represents a period when Sweden transformed military commanders into public monuments through grand bronze sculptures in central urban locations.

Students from local universities perform a graduation ritual by walking seven circles around the statue before continuing their celebrations.

The statue underwent a notable relocation in 1959, moving 20 meters east and lowering 1.2 meters to improve traffic flow in central Helsingborg.

Location: Helsingborg Municipality

Inception: December 3, 1901
