The War of Independence memorial at Lääne-Nigula, designed by Roman Espenberg (later Haavamägi), was unveiled on 14 September 1930. In September 1946 it was smashed, but the foundation and the bronze parts survived. On 10 September 1989 an exact copy was unveiled on the same spot, with the original bronze parts restored and put back. Two memorial stones beside it now remember the local people killed in the Second World War and those deported.

Eesti keeles

Roman Espenbergi (hiljem Haavamägi) kavandatud Lääne-Nigula Vabadussõja mälestussammas avati 14. septembril 1930. 1946. aasta septembris see purustati, kuid vundament ja pronksist osad säilisid. 10. septembril 1989 avati samas kohas täpne koopia, millele pandi tagasi restaureeritud algsed pronksosad. Samba kõrval meenutavad kaks mälestuskivi Teises maailmasõjas hukkunud ja küüditatud kohalikke inimesi.
