Monument to the War of Independence in Kullamaa
Memorial site

This monument, made from Saaremaa dolomite, was unveiled on 11 July 1926. It was situated on a square near the church in Kullamaa, where the memorial to well-known Estonian composer Rudolf Tobias now stands. It was destroyed in 1945 and unveiled anew on 30 September 1989. The current location of the monument is between the former pastorate and the church. The monument comprises a tapered obelisk of both protruding and receding blocks on a stepped footing with a Cross of Liberty on top. The second stage of the memorial was added between 1991 and 1999: a nine-step staircase up to a platform surrounded by roughly finished limestone walls. It stands out from other memorials to the War of Independence due to the fact that after its restoration, tablets in memory of the people killed during the Red Terror and World War II were added to the memorial. The stairs leading to the monument are surrounded by walls listing the names of the more than 300 dead.
