Monument to the War of Independence in Lüllemäe
At Lüllemäe stands the memorial of Karula parish to its 25 men who fell in the War of Independence, their names cut into the back of a grey granite block. Designed by Georg Saar of Valga and paid for with 2,000 kroons collected from the community, it was unveiled on 23 June 1936. Local communists toppled it with crowbars in spring 1941; it was repaired under German occupation, and on 10 December 1944 it was blown up on NKVD orders. A bus shelter and an outdoor toilet were built on the site. The Karula heritage society rebuilt it in 1992.

Eesti keeles
Lüllemäel seisab Karula kihelkonna mälestussammas 25 mehele, kes langesid Vabadussõjas; nende nimed on raiutud halli graniittahuka tagaküljele. Valga arhitekti Georg Saare kavandatud ja korjandusel kogutud 2000 krooni eest ehitatud sammas avati 23. juunil 1936. 1941. aasta kevadsuvel lükkasid kohalikud kommunistid samba raudkangidega ümber; Saksa okupatsiooni ajal see parandati ja 10. detsembril 1944 lasti NKVD korraldusel õhku. Samba platsile ehitati bussiootepaviljon ja välikäimla. Karula Muinsuskaitse Selts taastas samba 1992. aastal.
