In the Old Square in Virserum is his statue"Nils Dacke" (left)
and in Strandparken (The beach park) his little bronze sculpture "Sittande flicka". (Sitting girl)
On the 15th of May 1937 his Fontän i Hultsfreds Köpingspark (Fountain in the Station Park) was inaugurated. The sculpture represents the knight´s combat against the dragon. The fountain was donated by the restaurant keeper of Stora Hotellet. A certain percent of the income from the selling of beer was used for making the sculpture, why in popular speech it was soon given the name "The Pilsner boy".
