Roskilde Jars

The three huge jars are 5 m (16 ft) in height and together weigh about 24 tons.

[1] The jars are the work of the Danish abstract sculptor Peter Brandes (born 1944).

[2] The jars stand in a shallow basin of water, in which they are reflected.

The one closest to the station is inscribed with extracts from Henrik Nordbrandt's poem Junker Kristoffer, a local hero buried in Roskilde Cathedral in 1363.

[3] The colourful glazed jars (two in tones of blue, the third in bronze) are reminiscent of Ancient Greek amphoras.
