24 Charles IX Equestrian Statue in Gothenburg, Sweden

In 1904, this monument by sculptor John Börjeson was erected at Kungsportsplatsen. It portrays Charles IX who was the King of Sweden from 1604 until 1611. The statue portrays him in armor primarily because his short reign was plaque with battles among his relatives in the House of Vasa over rulership plus aditional wars against Poland, Russia and Denmark. Frankly, Karl IX may be best remembered as the youngest son of Gustav I, the founder of modern Sweden, and as the father of Gustavus Adolphus who was one of Europe’s best military commanders and the founder of Gothenburg.
