Monument to the memory of the partisans of the Samogitian region who died in the Alsėdžiai area
Memorial site
The monument in the Alsėdžiai area is dedicated to honoring the fallen partisans of the Alka and Šatrija detachments of the Samogitian region, who actively fought against the Soviet occupation in the post-war years. The monument commemorates all those who defended Lithuania's freedom and independence in these areas, fighting against much stronger and better armed Soviet forces.
The monument was built to commemorate the fighters of the Alka and Šatrija divisions, who were buried in the trenches at this location between 1944 and 1953.
The monument consists of a composition of typical partisan memorial signs. The authors are designer Romas Navickas and architect Viktorija Molienė. The monument was unveiled on August 29, 2004, thanks to the efforts of Alfons Norkaus-Žilvičis, a former partisan of the Alka detachment of the Samogitian region, and a political prisoner.
Today, this monument is one of many that commemorate the partisan resistance in Samogitia and throughout Lithuania.
