Monument to the War of Independence in Nigula
Memorial site

Situated in the village of Nigula in Lääne-Nigula municipality, this monument, designed by Roman Espenberg (Haavamägi), was unveiled on 14 September 1930. The obelisk stands on a plinth with a stepped footing, topped by a step pyramid and crowned with a bronze Cross of Liberty. The front of the plinth is adorned with a bronze low-relief depicting a soldier caring for his wounded comrade. It was demolished in 1946, but the foundations and bronze details survived. The monument was unveiled anew on 10 September 1989. Its dolomite parts are exact copies of the original, while the bronze parts were restored. The names of 19 people killed in the War of Independence and 61 in World War I are inscribed on the monument. In addition, there is a memorial to those killed in World War II and to those deported next to the monument.
