Monument to the War of Independence in Kärstna
Memorial site

The monument commemorating the Battle of Kärstna and the 18 soldiers killed in it was unveiled on 28 August 1928. It is assumed that the monument was designed by the then head of the Sculpture Department at the State School of Arts and Crafts, Leonhard Pruul. Each side of the monument is adorned with a low relief of a battle scene from the War of Independence. The front of the monument reads: "This far and no further! To the heroes who fought in the battles in Kärstna for the freedom of Estonia. Greater Kärstna". As with many monuments to the War of Independence, this one was also demolished in 1941. The plinth, which survived the initial detonation, was eventually destroyed on 31 October 1944. The monument was unveiled anew in 1989.
