The Stone Monument at Kommunubrekkan

As part of the redevelopment of Kommunubrekkan in Klaksvík in the late 1980s, a unique monument was integrated into the newly landscaped area south of the road. The transformation of the once narrow and congested hill road began in December 1986, aiming to improve traffic flow and safety by widening the lower section to include three driving lanes and new parking spaces for 16 cars.

Alongside the roadworks, the municipality planned to enhance the surrounding area with a peaceful and artistic green space. Faroese artist Árni Jacobsen proposed a simple yet striking concept: a large stone, carefully placed in the landscape, would serve as the focal point. Holes would be drilled through the stone, allowing water to flow gently into a pool below, creating a quiet, reflective atmosphere. The monument was intended not just as a decorative feature, but as a symbol of renewal and harmony between infrastructure and nature.

The project was completed in the summer of 1987, marking a new chapter for Kommunubrekkan — both functionally and aesthetically. Today, the stone monument stands as a subtle yet meaningful part of the urban landscape, blending natural materials, running water, and thoughtful design to create a small oasis in the heart of Klaksvík.
