About

A large bronze fountain by Kastellet showing the Norse goddess Gefjon driving four oxen — her sons in the myth in which she ploughs the island of Zealand out of Swedish soil. Sculpted by Anders Bundgaard and first switched on in 1908, it sits a short walk from The Little Mermaid and is often used as a wishing well.
