Den Jyske Hingst

The bronze stallion sculpture stands 6.5 meters tall and weighs 4.5 tons, representing the strength of the Jutland horse breed.

The Federation of Jutlandish Horse-breeding Society donated this monument to Randers in 1969, commemorating the city's historical horse markets.

Artist Helen Schou designed this monumental work following classical principles of equine representation, similar to her previous creation of Christian X's statue.

The sculpture sits on a base made from Randers' old street stones, making it a central meeting point in the Østervold area.

A miniature 4.5-centimeter replica of the statue was installed in 2010 within the window sill of the Randers city council chamber.
