This is a statue of Fridtjof the brave,a hero from the viking sagas of Norway. The statue was given to the people of Vik in Sogn as a present from Emperor Wilhelm III of Germany and was unveiled in 1913. Kaizer Vilhelm was a great admirer of the viking-sagas and of Norway and the norwegian people. He had his summer vacations here in Vik from the beginning of the 1890`s until the beginning of WW1. A very impressive statue in a very impressive location..... :-)
