This monument is situated between the church and lake in Räpina. It was unveiled on 26 June 1927. The monument was disassembled on 27 August 1945 and its parts buried. The parts were recovered on 23 February 1989 and the monument was unveiled anew on 24 June 1989, having been reassembled from its original parts. The obelisk, mounted on a brown granite plinth with three steps, has an engraved Latin cross at the top and a depiction of the Cross of Liberty in the middle.
