5.0 (1 review) Spent Ranking #20 in Lahti Monuments & Statues
Striking realistic memorial
At the end of the Finnish Civil War in 1918, there was a prison camp called Fellman Field located at the site that is now called Fellman Park. The Monument to the Red Prisoners is a large-scale work of art designed by sculptor Erkki Kannosto in granite and bronze. It was unveiled in 1978, 60 years after the war. The memorial is based on an elevated square plane covered with granite tiles, with side dimensions of 14 meters. At the back of the level is a wide granite gate that rises to a height of more than 5 meters. On top of the level are five human figures over a three-meter-high bronze cast, four men and one woman, symbolizing the prisoners released from the camp.
