Torgils Knutsson, Vyborg

Torgils Knutsson Monument is a monument to the founder of Vyborg Castle, Swedish Marshal Torgils Knutsson by sculptor Ville Wallgren in Vyborg. It was established on the present-day square of the Old Town Hall on October 4, 1908 and became the first monument of Vyborg. The monument had been standing for exactly forty years when it was dismantled in 1948. The sculpture was badly damaged, but it avoided being melted down. In 1993 the monument was restored.

Since 1995, the monument is defined as an identified object of cultural heritage, and in 2015 it was included in the list of objects of cultural heritage of the Russian Federation.
