The memorial ensemble is located at Skolas Street and St Agathe of the Mountains Roman Catholic Church.
The memorial ensemble consists of four stylised carriages, each for a different time of deportation. The roofs of the wagons symbolise houses. In the middle of the ensemble are an altar and a cross. The monument is different from the others because it reminds us that Latvian citizens were deported not only on 14 June 1941 and 25 March 1949. There were deportations between these dates as well. The monument has been designed in such a way that the list of names engraved on it can be expanded as research continues.
The memorial ensemble was designed by local artist and local historian Maija Eņģele
