An Angel in the Sky
The Ivar Huitfeldt Column is a monument at Langelinie Park, built to commemorate the death of Admiral Ivar Huitfeldt and his men in a naval battle off Stevns during the Great Northern War. The monument was constructed in 1886 to a design by F.E. Ring and Vilhelm Dahlerup.
The monument consists of a marble column topped by a statue of Victoria. Four bronze reliefs at its foot feature Huitfeldt 's portrait, his coat of arms, a ship and a text. The design incorporates the cannon balls barrels and the ship’s anchor is attached to the plinth.
