Hans Tavsens Park, Public park in Nørrebro district, Copenhagen, Denmark
Hans Tavsens Park covers 8.5 hectares of green space with extensive lawns, large trees, and sports facilities adjacent to Assistens Cemetery.
The land functioned as a burial ground for individuals who could not afford graves inside the walled cemetery from 1847 to 1880, before becoming a park in 1909.
The park contains the Artemis Fountain, created by Johannes Bjerg in 1934, featuring a bronze sculpture of Artemis riding a jumping deer stag.
The park incorporates innovative rainwater management systems and biotopes that direct excess water from heavy rainfall events to Peblinge Lake.
A bronze reproduction of Michelangelo's Moses statue, owned by Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, has stood near the Assistens Cemetery entrance since 1924.
