context_page_description: Kultorvet is a public square in the Old Town of Copenhagen, Denmark. Together with Købmagergade and the southern part of Frederiksborggade, it forms a pedestrian zone between Nørreport station and Amagertorv on Strøget. The square is lined with cafés and shops and is a popular venue for outdoor concerts in the summer time. Copenhagen Central Library was from the 1950s based on the square but has now relocated to a building in Krystalgade. Its old building has now been taken over by Niels Brock Copenhagen Business College.
context_section_description: The 2013 renovation installed a large, circular water feature which doubles as a band stand for special events.
  One of Copenhagen's old telephone kiosks is found on the square. It was installed and operated by A/S Kjøbenhavns Telefonkiosker.
  On the square is Hanne Varming's bronze statue The Elder Mother (Hyldemor), presenting an elderly couple seated on a bench in quiet contemplation. The statue takes its name after Hans Christian Andersen's tale of the same name from 1851 but was also inspired by a memory of the artist's own great grand parents.
