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.
