Saint Olaf
Saint Olaf was the most popular saint in Finland alongside the Virgin Mary in the 13th century. Olaf was a Viking king, the national saint of Norway and the patron saint of all knights and soldiers. He was also a popular saint who protected livestock and crops. Olavinlinna Castle was named after the warlike saint. Made in Northern Germany in the late 15th century, the sculpture is from Pälkäne Church.
