Lion of Anrep, Artistic monument in Kärstna Manor Cemetery, Estonia.
The Lion of Anrep consists of a cast iron lion with an extended mane, positioned upon a substantial rock formation within cemetery grounds.
Lieutenant General Joseph von Anrep commissioned this memorial in 1844 to honor his father Reinhold von Anrep, who died in battle in 1807.
German sculptor Christian Daniel Rauch created this classicist monument, which exemplifies the aristocratic memorial traditions of 19th century Estonia.
The monument stands in Kannuküla village within Viljandi Rural Municipality and remains accessible throughout the year at all hours.
The iron lion rests on Chapel Hill, marking the burial site of the Anrep-Elmpt family with inscriptions detailing their military achievements.
