Lion of Anrep
In the Kärstna manor cemetery, on a boulder in front of the Anrep family chapel, sleeps a cast-iron lion. It honours Lieutenant General Heinrich Reinhold von Anrep (1760–1807), killed at the battle of Mohrungen in the war against Napoleon; his body was brought home and buried in front of the great stone. His son, the cavalry general Joseph Carl von Anrep, had the monument set up in 1844. The 'sleeping lion' was designed by the German sculptor Christian Daniel Rauch and first made for the grave of Gerhard von Scharnhorst in Berlin. In 2006 a vandal broke off one paw, later recast by Paul Uibopuu.

Kärstna mõisa kalmistul, Anrepite kabeli ees rändrahnul magab malmist lõvi. See austab kindralleitnant Heinrich Reinhold von Anrepi (1760–1807), kes hukkus Napoleoni vastases sõjas Mohrungeni lahingus; tema põrm toodi koju ja maeti suure kivi ette. Mälestusmärgi lasi 1844. aastal püstitada tema poeg, ratsaväekindral Joseph Carl von Anrep. „Magava lõvi” kujundas saksa skulptor Christian Daniel Rauch ja esimene eksemplar tehti Gerhard von Scharnhorsti hauale Berliinis. 2006. aastal murdis vandaal lõvilt ühe käpa, mille valas hiljem uuesti Paul Uibopuu.
