The 't Hooft magnetic monopole solution of the SO(3) Higgs model generates, when coupled to gravity, a geometry which for large distances is of the Reissner--Nordstroem form corresponding to a (magnetic) charge 1/e. The Higgs fields can contribute a cosmological term. In the absence of scalar fields the corresponding Wu--Yang solution of the SO(3) gauge theory still generates the Reissner--Nordstroem geometry.
