Review:
The immense Gefion Fountain located on the Langelinie waterfront next to Churchill Park is one of the most imposing monuments in Copenhagen. The complex sculpture is a creation of Danish sculptor Anders Bundgaard, built between 1897 and 1904, and was revealed to the city a year later.
The fountain was a gift to the city from the Carlsberg Brewery for their 50th anniversary. The fountain represents Norse goddess Gefion with oxen pulling the plough, and is so enormous that the sculptor had to rent space in order to build it. Ever since it was built, the fountain has been a popular outing spot and a favourite with the local photographers and tourists taking photos during their visits to Copenhagen.
