Statue of Bishop Hans Adolf Brorson i Ribe

August Saaby's bronze statue of Hans Adolf Brorson, 1895.

Brorson was bishop in Ribe from 1741 to 1764, and has written more than 100 hymns, which can be found in the Danish hymnal. His hymn "The sweetest rose is found" is played every day at 08.00 and at 18.00 from Borgertårnet i Ribe Domkirke.

The statue has stood where Ansgar stands today since 1913, and was moved in December 2015 to its current location next to Tausen.
