Caroline Amalie
Caroline Amalie stands at the centre of Copenhagen’s rose garden, surrounded by flower beds, paths, and open public space. The sculpture depicts Queen Caroline Amalie, a queen consort of Denmark and figure in the country’s royal history. Visitors see it among seasonal flowers and walk through the garden around it. Its setting joins public art with a quiet outdoor place in the city.
Vilhelm Bissen created the work with Hans Jørgen Holm, bringing sculptural and architectural elements together. Norway gave the monument to Copenhagen as a gesture of thanks to Denmark. The inscription reads “Norge takker Danmark 1940 1945,” referring to the period during and after the Second World War. Those words connect the queen’s Danish setting with a twentieth-century relationship between Denmark and Norway. The inscription leaves a precise reminder of gratitude among the garden’s flowers and paths.
