Troll smelling christian blood, Bronze statue in Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, Denmark
The bronze sculpture depicts a troll crouching low to the ground, with features resembling tree bark textures throughout its surface.
Created by Niels Hansen Jacobsen in 1896, the statue stood at Jesus Church in Valby before moving to Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek due to public reactions.
The sculpture draws from Norse folklore where trolls detect human presence through scent, representing the intersection of Danish mythology and artistic expression.
Visitors can find this bronze sculpture in the garden section of Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, positioned at coordinates 55.6723622, 12.5707107.
The Glyptotek museum denied a request from Jesus Church in 2002 to return the original sculpture, leading to the creation of a replica.
