The Roskilde Jars.
Roskilde's three giant jars by the artist Peter Brandes are 5 metres high and weigh about 24 tons.
They were presented to Roskilde by the firm of Stryhn's Leverpostej A/S to commemorate Roskilde's 1000-year jubilee in 1998.
According to the artist they symbolise life and death, as jars are used for storage of food and as urns.
The name of all employees of the company and of those taking part in the production are inscribed on the jars. The first jar - seen from the station - has been adorned with a poem by Henrik Nordbrandt about Roskilde and Queen Margrethe I.
