Sculptures in the Vicarage Garden
0
It is difficult to say exactly when the Vicarage Garden in Dolm was landscaped. The eldest tree is close to 200 years old, and we can estimate that the garden was laid out some time around the middle of the 19th century. Surveys from 1925 show that the garden was constructed in a baroque pattern with gravel paths: this garden would have been a sight to behold for many from the surrounding islands. When the vicarage burned down, the garden was no longer maintained, but after many years work the Coastal Museum together with locals have restored the garden to its former splendour. You are now standing in front of the memorial park. The sculptures are copies of statues from the Fredensborg palace garden in Denmark. There are carved sculptures portraying subjects of the Danish-Norwegian King and these two statues were carved based on Hitte residents. The memorial park is to remember and reflect on the lives of all those who have lost their lives at sea through the ages.
