Monument to the War of Independence in Mihkli
Memorial site

This monument is situated in the village cemetery in Mihkli in Pärnu County. It is a stepped and tapered obelisk of polished dark red granite. The top of the front side of the obelisk is adorned with an engraving of the Cross of Liberty. Below this it reads: "To the sons of the Mihkli congregation who died with honour in the Great War and the Estonian War of Independence 1914-1920. The Mihkli congregation is forever grateful.” Beneath it, on all four sides of the obelisk, are inscribed the 96 names of the fallen. These inscriptions are gilded. The monument stands 3.05 metres high.

It was unveiled on 30 May 1926. Unlike most War of Independence monuments, the Soviet regime did not get the chance to destroy this one, as it was hidden in the nearby cemetery with the help of the local pastor. Its restoration turned out to be very simple, as the buried monument was in perfect condition and was simply returned to its original place through the joint efforts of locals in 1988.
