Memorial to the Knights of the Lāčplēsis War Order
Memorial site

Located in Matīši cemetery, Matīši parish.

A text with the names of the 15 Knights of the Lāčplēsis Military Order related to Matīši, as well as with the neighboring parishes of Vilzēni and Braslava, who were once united by the parish of Matīši Church, is engraved on the memorial table. Those who died abroad or were buried elsewhere in Latvia were also identified, but here in Matīši there is a family cemetery.

The memorial stall was unveiled on August 4, 2018 in honor of the centenary of Latvia.

The Lāčplēsis War Order (LKO) was the highest military award in Latvia from 1920 to 1940. The LKO awarded for the merits of the battle to the soldiers of the Latvian Army and former Latvian Rifle Regiments, as well as to foreigners who had made a great contribution to the Latvian freedom struggle or otherwise promoted the establishment of the Latvian state. The motto of LKO is "About Latvia", and it has 3 classes. First class, served only to high-ranking statesmen and generals.
