Reformation Memorial, Memorial obelisk in Bispetorv, Denmark.
The Reformation Memorial features four bronze reliefs mounted on a granite obelisk, each depicting significant moments of religious transformation in Denmark.
The monument was inaugurated on June 6, 1943, during German occupation, following a 1936 committee initiative marking 400 years since Denmark's Lutheran transition.
The bronze panels portray essential events including Christian III's confirmation of reformation and the ordination of Denmark's first Lutheran bishops.
Located in central Copenhagen, the memorial includes detailed inscriptions on granite steps beneath each relief panel explaining the historical context.
The memorial contains a relief showing armed men attempting to arrest Hans Tavsen during his service at Greyfriars Church in Viborg.
