Frans Michael Franzén is an outdoor sculpture located in the city centre in Oulu, Finland. It is the oldest public monument in Oulu.[1]
The bronze bust of Oulu-born poet Frans Michael Franzén was made by Finnish sculptor Erland Stenberg, while he was working in Paris in 1878–1879. The unveiling of the sculpture in 1881 was a major social event in Oulu.[1] The Church Square on which the bust was erected was later converted to a park and named Franzén Park.
