Located just a few minutes from Stavanger, on the shores of the pretty Hafrsfjord to be precise, these giant bronze swords, almost 10 m high and planted on rocks, commemorate the naval battle of Hafrsfjord in 872, which resulted in the unification of Norway into a single kingdom. In 1983, King Olav V inaugurated this monument to celebrate the 1111th anniversary of the battle. The swords also represent peace, as they cannot be removed.

Les 3 épées sont un incontournable de tout visiteur de Stavanger quel que soit le temps. Les 3 épées symbolisent l'unification des 3 royaumes vikings.
C'est l'endroit typique pour la photo souvenir au bord du fjord.
La plage est bien occupée dès qu'il fait beau et en été, et si on y va en septembre on peut tomber sur le week-end du festival viking qui a lieu à cet endroit.
