Monument to the War of Independence in Martna

Martna's War of Independence memorial, in the village by the church in Lääne County, is shaped like the portal of a chapel, with a metal cross on the peak of its little roof. The original was blown up on 27 August 1953, later than most such monuments in Estonia. The memorial standing today is an exact copy of the old one, except that its granite plaques have been replaced with concrete ones. It is protected as a historic monument.

Eesti keeles

Läänemaal Martna külas asuv Vabadussõja mälestussammas meenutab kabeli portaali, mille katuse tipus on metallrist. Algne sammas õhiti 27. augustil 1953 – hiljem kui enamik selliseid monumente Eestis. Praegu seisev mälestusmärk on vana samba täpne koopia, välja arvatud see, et graniittahvlid on asendatud betoontahvlitega. Sammas on ajaloomälestisena kaitse all.
