Olav Tryggvason monument, Historic statue at Torvet Square in Trondheim, Norway
The 18-meter-tall monument features King Olav Tryggvason standing on a decorative obelisk, holding a sword and a royal orb at the city center.
Wilhelm Rasmussen created this monument in 1921 to honor King Olav Tryggvason, who established Trondheim and ruled Norway from 995 to 1000.
The statue base displays Thor's head and hammer, representing the transformation from Norse mythology to Christianity during Olav Tryggvason's reign.
The monument stands at the intersection of Munkegata and Kongens gate, offering wheelchair access and serving as a central meeting point.
A large cobblestone sundial surrounds the base of the monument, calibrated to UTC+1, although readings shift during summer months.
