About
Nordmandsdalen – unique sculptures in Fredensborg Palace Garden
Sculptures in royal gardens typically depict the exalted gods and goddesses of antiquity. But in Fredensborg Palace Garden, you’ll find a truly unique attraction: 70 sandstone sculptures of ordinary fishermen and farmers, portrayed as they looked in 18th-century Norway and the Faroe Islands. The sculpture group is called the Valley of the Norsemen (Nordmandsdalen), and it was initiated by King Frederik V in 1764.
