Art is found in the Litene cemetery.
On June 14, 2001, the memorial "Wall of Pain" created by architects Dina Grūbe, Benita and Daiņš Bērziņš, stonemasons Ivars Feldbergs and Sandras Skribnovskis was unveiled at the Litene cemetery. It symbolizes the resting place of the soldiers killed in 1941. In October 1988, the ashes of 11 officers murdered by the Soviet army in June 1941 were found in the territory of the former Latvian army summer camp in Sita sila, Litene parish. Although they could not be identified, on December 2, 1989, after being consecrated in a service at the Gulbene Evangelical Lutheran Church, they were solemnly reburied at the Litene cemetery.
11 white crosses, a memorial plaque and information boards.
