Torgny Segerstedtmonumentet, Granite memorial at Vasaplatsen, Gothenburg, Sweden

The Torgny Segerstedt Monument is a ten-meter tall triangular granite monolith standing at Vasaplatsen in central Gothenburg. The carved surface displays inscribed words addressing freedom and resistance.

The monument was unveiled on March 31, 1955, honoring journalist Torgny Segerstedt who resisted Nazi influence in Sweden through his newspaper articles. His work during the war and after demonstrated the power of an independent press.

The inscription quotes Segerstedt's editorial of 8 October 1940, which criticised commander-in-chief Olof Thörnell for accepting the Grand Cross of the German Eagle Order from Prince of Wied, with the order letter signed by Hitler. The government confiscated that edition of Göteborgs Handels- och Sjöfartstidning. The carved wording differs from Segerstedt's original line, "De fria fåglarna plöja sig väg genom rymden"; since May 2021 a pasted-on sign has temporarily restored the original text.

The monument sits at a major intersection on a busy plaza in the city center. It is easily accessible on foot and serves as a useful landmark for navigating the downtown area.

The inscription quotes Segerstedt's editorial of 8 October 1940, but the stone reads "De fria fåglarna plöja sig väg genom rymden" while his original text differs slightly. In May 2021 the original wording was temporarily restored by a pasted-on sign. The monument was made by sculptor Ivar Johnsson.
