Torgny Segerstedtmonumentet, Granite memorial at Vasaplatsen, Gothenburg, Sweden
The Torgny Segerstedt Monument stands as a ten-meter high triangular monolith made of granite featuring inscribed quotes about freedom and resistance.
The monument, unveiled on March 31, 1955, commemorates journalist Torgny Segerstedt who opposed Nazi influence in Sweden through his newspaper editorials.
The monument's inscription includes Segerstedt's words about free birds soaring through space, representing the fundamental values of press freedom.
Located at the intersection of major streets in central Gothenburg, the monument serves as a meeting point and orientation landmark for visitors.
The text carved on the monument differs slightly from Segerstedt's original writing, leading to a temporary correction attempt in May 2021.
