About the monument from Wikipedia:
Sverd i fjell (English: Swords in Rock) is a monument in Hafrsfjord, Norway.

The monument was made by sculptor Fritz Røed from Bryne and was opened by Olav V of Norway in 1983. Three large swords stand on the hill as a memory to the Battle of Hafrsfjord in year 872, when King Harald Fairhair gathered all of Norway under one crown.

The largest sword represents the victorious king, and the two smaller swords represent the defeated kings. The monument also represents peace, as the three swords are stuck in the hill and will never be used again.
