About The Little Mermaid

Hans Christian Andersen's "The Little Mermaid" inspired the Den Lille Havfrue statue in Copenhagen. Edvard Eriksen sculpted the bronze statue, which was unveiled in 1913 in the entrance to Copenhagen’s harbor. The statue is somewhat smaller than life-sized and rests on the rocks just off shore. While in the area, visit the nearby Gefion Fountain and moat-protected Kastellet citadel.
