      David - a bronze sculpture by Ivar Johnsson from 1922.

      The city of Helsingborg received the sculpture in 1923 as a gift from Malte Sommelius (the genus) and was placed on Stortorget directly under the patio stairs. However, this immediately led to a storm of rare protest, both against the sculpture and against its location.

      On March 18, 1924, the city council decided to move David von Stortorget to a place off Vikingsberg, where he felt better off. The move took place in 1926. It is interesting in this connection that the sculpture won the Grand Prix in 1925 at the World's Fair in Paris and a copy was bought by the city of Zurich to be placed prominently on Lake Zurich. The statue was moved back to its original location on the patio stairs in 2009.
