Monument to the War of Independence in Simuna
Simuna's War of Independence memorial, a dolomite column with reliefs on its upper block and names and text below, was made by the sculptor Richard Vasard and unveiled on 27 August 1927. Local activists and Soviet soldiers tried to blow it up, but the explosion failed; the monument was nevertheless destroyed in 1946. The column standing today is an exact copy of the original, and it is protected as a historic monument.

Simuna Vabadussõja mälestussamba – dolomiitsamba, mille ülemisel tahukal on reljeefid ja alumisel tekst ning nimed – valmistas kujur Richard Vasard ja see avati 27. augustil 1927. Kohalikud aktivistid ja nõukogude sõdurid püüdsid sammast õhkida, kuid õhkimine ebaõnnestus; sammas hävitati siiski 1946. aastal. Praegu seisev sammas on originaali täpne koopia ja ajaloomälestisena kaitse all.
