The Svennis statue in Torsby pays tribute to one of the municipality’s most renowned figures – football coach Sven-Göran “Svennis” Eriksson. The life-sized bronze statue is located at the newly named Svennis Square by Nya Torget, in the heart of central Torsby, right next to Frykenhallen, Fryksdalens Sparbank, and Woodlooks. Equipped with an internal heating element that keeps it warm all year round, the statue is both unique and thoughtfully designed.
The artwork was created by artist Hanna Beling in close collaboration with Svennis himself, who took part in the process and influenced how he wanted to be portrayed. The statue is placed on a specially designed bench, inviting visitors to sit beside him. It has quickly become a new meeting point – and a source of pride for the town.
