This massive water fountain is in Churchill Park. It celebrates a Norse myth of when the Goddess Gefion was told by Swedish King Gylfe that she could have all of the land she could plough in 24 hours. By turning her four sons into oxen, she was able to create the island of Zealand where Copenhagen is located. The Gefion Springvandet monument was the gift of the Carlsberg Brewery Foundation to celebrate their 50th anniversary.
