Monument to the War of Independence in Kohila
Kohila's War of Independence memorial, designed by Anton Starkopf, was unveiled on 9 July 1939. On 20 June 1941 it was smashed, but the bronze soldier was rescued under cover of night, and the repaired memorial was reopened on 26 July 1942. In autumn 1944 it was destroyed completely and the pieces were thrown into the river. The architect Marie Hammer, who grew up in Kohila, drew the restoration plans; the column was reopened without its soldier on 23 June 1993, and with the bronze soldier back in place on 23 June 2006.

Anton Starkopfi kavandatud Kohila Vabadussõja mälestussammas avati 9. juulil 1939. 20. juunil 1941 sammas lõhuti, kuid pronkssõdur päästeti öö varjus ning korda tehtud mälestusmärk avati uuesti 26. juulil 1942. 1944. aasta sügisel hävitati sammas täielikult ja tükid visati jõkke. Taastamisjoonised tegi Kohilas üles kasvanud arhitekt Marie Hammer; sammas avati ilma sõdurita 23. juunil 1993 ja koos pronkssõduriga 23. juunil 2006.
