Steles in memory of the knights of the Lāčplēsis War Orders
Memorial site
180
Twenty-seven knights of the Lāčplēsis Military Order are associated with the Aizpute region.
Honoring the soldiers who fell in the Latvian War of Independence, memorial steles of a uniform model were installed throughout Latvia, in which the font of the text engraving corresponds to the standard of the heroes' memorial plaques, which is analogous to the engraving of the sandstone memorial signs of the Riga Brothers' Cemetery and the Central Cemetery Field.
The granite steles were created as part of the Young Guard and Information Center project “Remember Lāčplēšis” dedicated to the centenary of the state of Latvia.
