Trold, der vejrer kristenblod

Trold, der vejrer kristenblod (English: Troll that smells Christian blood) is a bronze sculpture made by Niels Hansen Jacobsen (1861–1941).

A bronze cast was ordered by brewer Carl Jacobsen in 1901–02.

It was originally placed in front of Jacobsen's Church in Valby, Copenhagen, now known as Jesus Church (Jesuskirken), but was too controversial for the parish, so it was moved to the garden of the art museum Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek.

[3][4][5][6] The name of the statue is taken from a story in Norse folklore where the hero hides in the troll's castle.

Thereafter, whenever the troll enters the castle, he cries: "I smell a Christian man's blood!"
