Monday’s Monument: Fredsmonumentet, Karlstad
In front of Rådhuset is this bronze monument, called Fredsmonumentet (the monument of peace). It was created in 1955 by the artist Ivar Johnsson, to commemorate a celebration of the peaceful dissolution of the union of Sweden and Norway in 1905, which was ceremoniously accomplished in Karlstad. One name people call it is “Skräcktanten” (the Horror Lady) ; a TV program selected it as the ugliest statue in Sweden. The soldier’s head, with it’s missing eyes, sharpened teeth and snakes slithering from his helmet truly is horrific.
We are only maintaining the calendar at our Compassionate San Antonio site now.
