Monument to the War of Independence in Koeru

Koeru's War of Independence memorial, by the sculptor Juhan Raudsepp, was unveiled on 5 August 1934. It was destroyed twice, first in 1941 and again in 1947. More than half a century later it was rebuilt in exactly its original form and reopened on 23 February 1998, on the eve of Independence Day; it is a protected national monument.

Skulptor Juhan Raudsepa loodud Koeru Vabadussõja mälestussammas avati 5. augustil 1934. Seda lõhuti kaks korda, esmalt 1941. ja uuesti 1947. aastal. Üle poole sajandi hiljem taastati sammas täpselt algsel kujul ja avati uuesti 23. veebruaril 1998, iseseisvuspäeva eelõhtul; see on riiklik kultuurimälestis.
