Stavsten, Coastal sculpture in Skåne, Sweden.
Stavsten is a stone sculpture located on the shoreline of Skåne, standing directly against the water with a stark profile against the sky. The artwork consists of stacked stones forming a simple, geometric shape that is visible from the nearby beach path.
The sculpture was erected in the second half of the 20th century, marking a transition between artistic creation and landscape intervention on Sweden's southern coast. It emerged as part of a movement that combined natural forms with human intervention.
Local residents gather near the Stavsten sculpture during regional celebrations, incorporating the landmark into their community traditions and seasonal festivities.
The sculpture is accessible year-round via a coastal path on foot and offers good photo opportunities in various light conditions. Visitors should note that the surroundings are exposed to weather and tides, so sturdy footwear is advisable.
The stones were gathered from the immediate coastal surroundings, weaving the work deeply into the local geology and landscape. This material choice connects the sculpture to its setting in a way that blurs the line between art and nature.
