Monument to the War of Independence in Rõngu
Rõngu's memorial to the fallen of the War of Independence, with a figure by the sculptor Aleksander Eller, was unveiled on 30 September 1934. Its fate mirrors the century: Soviet authorities destroyed it in October 1940, during the German occupation it was repaired and reopened in October 1941, and in 1948 the returning Soviet regime broke it again. Almost fifty years later the sculptor Al Paldrok recreated it, and the restored monument was unveiled on 21 May 1995.

Rõngu Vabadussõjas langenute mälestussammas, mille kuju autor oli Aleksander Eller, avati 30. septembril 1934. Samba saatus peegeldab kogu sajandit: nõukogude võim lõhkus selle 1940. aasta oktoobris, Saksa okupatsiooni ajal tehti see korda ja taasavati 1941. aasta oktoobris ning 1948. aastal purustati see uuesti. Ligi viiskümmend aastat hiljem taastas samba kujur Al Paldrok ja taastatud monument avati 21. mail 1995.
