It was built for the donation money and opened on November 18th 1935. The monument was built according to the project of the sculptor Karlis Zale and architect Ernest Stalberg. The symbol of the Freedom was poured off of the bronze in Sweden. In the middle part of the monument, under the group Mother Latvia the words of Karlis Skalbe are engraved, saying: "For the Fatherland and Freedom". The monument is 42 metres high. The sculpture holds three stars in its hands as a historical symbol of cultural regions of Latvia - Kurzeme, Latgale and Vidzeme (but I always have question, why just three regions if we have four, where is Zemgale? But by the way monument is beautiful an it is really a symbol of our freedom). The history of Latvia is engraved in the sculptures of the monument.
At 1992 an honorary guard as the monument has been restored.
