The Saga Column, Historical monument in Bøverdalen, Norway
The Saga Column rises 34 meters high near the Elveseter tourist hotel, featuring sculptural reliefs that depict Norwegian historical events.
Construction of the monument started in the 1920s but halted during World War II when it was half-finished, made of Kyanite and plaster.
The column displays scenes from Norwegian history, starting with the Battle of Hafrsfjord and ending with the establishment of the 1814 constitution.
Visitors can observe the King's reef at the base of the pillar and the statue of King Harald Hårfagre at the top of the structure.
The monument remained incomplete for twenty years due to political disagreements until Åmund Elvesæter initiated its completion in 1992.
