FREEDOM MEMORIAL
In the centre of the avenue stands a 20-metre high obelisk framed by four beauties in togas, symbols of Fidelity, Virtue, Justice and Courage. It was designed in 1797 by Nicolai Abildgaard, a Danish master of art who was very attached to the values of freedom of the French Revolution which he had witnessed during his stay in Paris. The bourgeoisie of Copenhagen wanted to commemorate the abolition nine years earlier by the future Frederick VI of the obligation for peasants to remain in the service of the manor for life, a Danish variant of serfdom.
