Monument to the Battle of Munamäe in the War of Independence
Memorial site
This monument, dedicated to the men of the 1st Cavalry Regiment who fought and died in the Battle of Munamäe during the War of Independence, was unveiled in 1932. On 14 June 1941 the monument was buried in sand in separate pieces. It is unclear whether this was done as part of its demolition or rather to prevent it from being demolished in the first place. It was restored during the German occupation by putting the pieces back together, but was demolished once again in 1944. The monument was unveiled anew on 7 August 1988. The cobblestone plinth supports a stone block resembling an obelisk. The front side of the monument depicts the Cross of Liberty, below which reads: "Here fought the 1st Cavalry Regiment during the War of Independence 20 March 1919".
