The 2.5-meter-high bronze monk sculptures, which stand in the garden of the King of Denmark, refer to the stories and legends of the historically significant court and enliven the area. The work "Three" was erected in 2015.
The monks
• Ambrosius the "waiting monk",
• Bartholomew the "praying monk" and
• Claudius, the "observing monk".
are complemented by a light installation and an information board on the city wall.
