Monument to the War of Independence in Ambla
In Ambla cemetery an angel stands on a limestone obelisk carved to Anton Starkopf's design and unveiled on 27 September 1925. The front lists 42 men of Ambla parish killed in the War of Independence; the back, under a St George's cross, lists 132 who died in the First World War. In October 1949 the monument was taken apart: the pieces went into the Ambla river and the angel was thrown into the Soodla. A replica was unveiled on 23 June 1990. In August 2023, while Soviet war graves were being moved, pieces of the original were found serving as the foundation of a Soviet monument.
