Steles in memory of the knights of the War Orders of Lāčplēš
Memorialinis vieta

180

Twenty-seven knights of the Lāčplēš Military Order are associated with the Aizpute region.

Commemorative stelae of a uniform pattern were erected throughout Latvia in honor of the soldiers who fell in the Latvian Freedom Struggle, in which the text engraving font corresponds to the standard of the heroes' memorial plaques, which is analogous to the engraving of the sandstone memorials of the Riga Brothers' Grave and Central Graveyard.

The granite stelae were created as part of the "Remember Lāčplēšus" project of the Young Guard and Information Center dedicated to the centenary of the Latvian state.
