This monument, situated in the small borough of Kõpu, was unveiled on 17 September 1933. It was designed by Alfred Leius. Similarly to other monuments, brown granite was used. The monument was demolished on 17 June 1941 and used as building material. It was unveiled anew on 23 June 1989. A large piece of the original monument was placed at the side of the road leading to the monument. A depiction of the Cross of Liberty can still be made out on one of the pieces blown from the original.
