Info: Ivar Huitfeldt Column

Ivar Huitfeldt Column is built to commemorate the death of Admiral Ivar Huitfeldt and his men from HDMS Dannebroge, which exploded and sank in the Battle of Køge Bat during the Great Northern War. On 4 October 1710, the ship of the line HDMS Dannebroge, which Huitfeldt commanded, was set on fire during an encounter with the Swedes. He gave orders to continue the battle, which only came to an end when the ship blew up. Huitfeldt and 497 crew members were killed. The monument was constructed in 1886 to a design by Vilhelm Dahlerup.
