Pühajärv War Oak, Protected oak tree in Pühajärv, Estonia.
The oak tree reaches 20 meters in height and features a trunk measuring 6.6 meters in circumference at 1.3 meters from the ground.
In 1841, local peasants gathered near this oak tree during an uprising against manor demands, leading to subsequent punishment at this location.
The oak tree stands as a symbol of Estonian resistance and serves as a testament to the historical relationship between peasants and manor lords.
Metal supports and concrete reinforcements were installed after storms in 2010 damaged parts of the crown and created splits in the trunk.
The tree maintains protected status with a 50-meter radius restriction zone to prevent activities that could affect its condition.
