Rubene parish hall, near which the Chekists burned the bodies of six national partisans who fell in the Battle of the Danube on July 2, 1945. For the purpose of intimidation, the employees of the Rubene parish hall were also forced to watch this action.
A cross and an inscription are carved on the memorial stone:
"I am dying for faith and free Latvia. Jānis Abarons, Vladislavs Būka, Pēteris Bernāns, Alberts Klimanis, Vladislavs Dilāns, Juris Timšāns fell and were burned in the battle of July 2, 1945."
