Holger Danske - Ogier the Dane

3D Model

Every child and grown-up in Denmark knows Holger the Dane who sits asleep in the casemates of Kronborg Castle - until the day when Denmark is in real trouble, and he will wake up and defend the mother country.

For several hundred years Holger the Dane has been an important national symbol to the Danes.

Originally the myth is not Danish at all but derives from the Chanson de Roland, a principal work in French medieval-literature.
