It is a bronze statue by Louis Hasselriis that depicts the Danish fairy tale author H. C. Andersen. It was unveiled in King's Garden on June 19, 1888. In 1905 it was relocated to Gråbrødre Plads and in 1949 it was moved to its current location in Eventyrhaven.

The Hans Christian Andersen statue is located in the Eventyrhaven (Fairy Tale Garden)
in Odense, behind St. Canud's Cathedral. The garden, a peaceful space with a river, trees, and picnic areas, is a popular destination for visitors interested in the famous Danish author. The statue, a work by Louis Hasselriis, was originally unveiled in the King's Garden on June 19, 1888, and later relocated
and found its current location in the Eventyrhaven in 1949.
The Eventyrhaven, also known as the Fairy Tale Garden, is an idyllic park in Odense
that is closely associated with Hans Christian Andersen. The statue, depicting the poet, was created by Louis Hasselriis in 1888 and acquired by the city of Odense.

Originally placed in the King's Garden, it found its current location in the Fairy Tale Garden. The garden itself, with its paths, benches, and proximity to the river, invites you to take a relaxing stroll.
