The 11 Stars of Skive Round Abouts
Skive’s roundabouts as works of art
In Skive, roundabouts are more than traffic – they are art. The 11 stars, created by Jakob Jensen Design, each tell a story and guide us like the stars of ancient times.
Skive’s Roundabouts – Art in Motion
In Skive, roundabouts are more than just traffic junctions – they are works of art that tell stories and spark curiosity. The town has created a unique art project called Skive’s 11 Stars, where each roundabout features a sculpture designed by Jakob Jensen Design.
Each of the 11 stars has its own name and story, and all are placed within a granite compass ring, symbolizing the ancient use of the sun and stars for navigation. The project connects modern traffic with ancient guidance, creating a visual journey through the town.
The 11 stars are:
- The Sun
- The Sign
- The West Wind
- Less
- Is
- More
- Kraka
- Aslaug
- The Square
- The Castle
- UFO
These artworks turn a drive through Skive into an experience where art and history meet at the heart of each roundabout. It’s a tribute to local creativity and the human desire to find direction – in the landscape and in life.
