Bøverdal

Bøverdal or Bøverdalen is a valley in Lom Municipality in Innlandet county, Norway.

[1] The 34-metre (112 ft) tall Saga Column (Norwegian: Sagasøyla), was erected in Bøverdalen in 1992.

It started in 1926, when sculptor Wilhelm Rasmussen (1879–1965) won the competition for a column celebrating the Norwegian Constitution.

The monument (Eidsvollsmonumentet) was originally intended to be placed by the Norwegian parliament in Oslo.

The column shows the history of Norway from the time of the first king, Harald Fairhair in 872 to the first national assembly Riksforsamlingen at Eidsvoll in 1814.
