--- title: "Myten" url: "https://www.bbb-tourguide.eu/en/pois/myten" description: "“Myten” (the Myth) is a bronze sculpture. Artist: Eiler Madsen. The sculpture symbolizes the myth of King Christian the 2nd, who was held prisoner at Sønderborg Castle in 12 years during the 16th hundreds. The artist is imagining a table left by the king in a hurry. The myth about the groove made by the kings thumb in the table top was inspired by a painting by Carl Bloch (can be seen at Frederiksborg Castle), on which the king is standing next to a round table – in reality the table never existed until the sculpture was made. The sculpture “Myten” was a present from the foundation “SydbankFonden” in 2008 in relation to the 750 years city anniversary of Sønderborg." language: "en" type: "Place" image: "https://dam.destination.one/1254754/fa63f66ef8308db932adf804f05297ff96b4f60da08dee2183a00e60d44145e8/.jpg" breadcrumb: "Root > your tourguide > Special > Destination.Data Details > pois" --- ShareBookmark Bookmark Myten ===== - Other art & culture “Myten” (the Myth) is a bronze sculpture.
