In Denmark it is said that Holger Danske sleeps in his tomb, but with one eye open to watch for danger to his land and his people.
Holger Danske has for centuries been one of the mysterious icons in Denmark. Now the heavy bronze figure stands in the city of Skjern – but who knows; maybe an enemy of the people will bring him to life?
It wasn’t just any statue that locals bought for Skjern in the spring of 2013, which drew the attention of both local and national media. The myth about Holger Danske says that, when the realm is threatened by enemies, this bronze statue will turn into a man and defend Denmark.
