The monument consists of a statue of a soldier standing on a plinth made of light granite, with a hanging flag paying homage to three separate monuments set in the lawn. The statue from 1977 is the work of R. Svoboda. A sad red army man holding a rolled up banner. The sculpture was cast in the "Závody umelecké kovovýroby, n.p. ZUKOV".
