Monument to the War of Independence in Pärnu-Jaagupi
Memorial site

In 1922, a monument dedicated to the men from Pärnu-Jaagupi parish (in what is now Põhja-Pärnumaa municipality) who fought in World War I and the War of Independence was unveiled in the cemetery in Pärnu-Jaagupi. The monument was made at Jüri Walk's marble and granite factory in Pärnu. It was unveiled on 22 September 1922 and demolished in 1945. By 1 May 1989, a total of 10,362 roubles had been raised in donations for the restoration of the monument, which was unveiled anew on 18 June 1989. The monument comprises a multi-layered obelisk on a four-stepped base. The gilded contours on the front of the obelisk depict the Cross of Liberty. Below it is the text: "Be ye faithful unto death". The bottom plinth of the obelisk is adorned with a gilded list of the dead entitled ‘To the fallen heroes of Jakobi’.
