In 2007, a unique sculpture was unveiled in a central roundabout in Klaksvík, created by local artist and metalworker Heðin Ferjá Heldarskarð, who was just 28 years old at the time. The installation consists of four large stone pillars, each pointing in one of the four cardinal directions and representing the four traditional neighborhoods of Klaksvík: Vági, Myrkjanoyri, Gerðar, and Uppsalar.

Sourced from local stone in each of these areas, the pillars symbolize not only the town’s geographic divisions but also its cultural unity. At the heart of the sculpture, a stainless steel structure connects the stones, forming a compass-inspired centerpiece that is designed to resemble a traditional Faroese rowing boat when viewed from any direction.

This public artwork beautifully ties together Klaksvík’s landscape, history, and seafaring heritage, making it a meaningful landmark for both locals and visitors.
