Brīvības cīņu piemineklis Rannu pilsētā
Piemiņas vieta

This monument is situated in the cemetery in Rannu. Designed by Voldemar Mellik, it was unveiled on 23 August 1931. In 1949 the Soviet regime had it blown up. In 1976, Kalev Raave organised the erection of the sculpture ‘Mother of Rannu’ at the site of the former monument. In 1991 a memorial tablet was hung on the wall of the church in Rannu in remembrance of the men from the area who had fallen in the War of Independence. At the same time as restoration of the monument was mooted in 2014, the pieces of the monument were coincidentally recovered during renovation work in the cemetery. Unfortunately, the bronze gun, helmet and figure of the soldier on the monument remain missing. The ‘Mother of Rannu’ statue was moved and the restored monument was unveiled anew at its original location on 23 August 2015.
