The Gefion Fountain is a large outdoor monument created by Danish sculptor Anders Bundgaard in 1908. It portrays the Norse goddess Gefion in a dramatic mythological scene where she drives a group of oxen as part of the legend in which she plows land from Sweden to form the island of Sjælland.
Situated near Kastellet and Langelinie Park, it holds the distinction of being Copenhagen's largest monument. The fountain is notable not only for its artistic and mythological significance but also for serving as a wishing well.
The sculpture reflects Danish cultural heritage and mythology, making it a significant historic landmark and an important example of early 20th-century public art in the city.
