Little Mermaid 
The small iconic Copenhagen Little Mermaid statue sits on a rock by the Langelinie shoreline. The sculpture, based on a character in a fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen, was created by Edvard Eriksen in 1913. Since then she’s been damaged by vandals several times, including decapitation, amputation and being blasted off her rock by dynamite, but the original mold still exists, and repairs are painstakingly made.
