Monument to the War of Independence in Arjassaare
The memorial cross in Pilistvere cemetery, dedicated to the soldiers who died in the War of Independence, is one of very few such monuments in Estonia that the Soviet regime never pulled down. One explanation still told locally is that when the order to remove 'the monument' came in August 1940, it was carried out on the bronze-soldier memorial next to the church, and the second one out in the graveyard was simply left alone. It stayed standing through both occupations.

Pilistvere kalmistul asuv mälestusrist Vabadussõjas langenud sõduritele on üks väheseid selliseid mälestusmärke Eestis, mida nõukogude võim kunagi maha ei võtnud. Kohapeal räägitakse, et kui 1940. aasta augustis tuli käsk sammas eemaldada, täideti see kiriku juures seisva sõdurikujuga monumendi peal, ja teine, kalmistul olev sammas jäeti lihtsalt rahule. Nii püsis see püsti läbi mõlema okupatsiooni.
