The Alexander Kielland statue

The Alexander Kielland statue in Stavanger is a tribute to the renowned Norwegian author Alexander Kielland, who was a significant figure in the city's cultural, public, and political life in the 19th century. He is recognized as one of the four great writers in Norwegian literary history, but he was also a business leader, newspaper editor, and notably, the mayor of Stavanger. The statue was unveiled in 1928 and was created by sculptor Magnus Vigrestad.
