Harald Grytten

The bronze statue of city historian Harald Grytten shows Grytten the way most of the local population remembers him, standing on his just as famous wooden stool in the heart of Ålesund. Harald Grytten was extremely important for the city development in Ålesund, where his commitment to the original building environment has been decisive. Through books, lectures and city walks, Harald Grytten has richly illustrated Ålesund through the ages. As a thank you, a mission to raise money from the local population was started in 2010, in order to erect this statue of Harald Grytten.
