Monument to Novgorod's Home Guard 1812, Military memorial monument in Veliky Novgorod, Russia.
The Monument to Novgorod's Home Guard 1812 is a structure with granite base and bronze components. The memorial stands in the city center and can be approached from different directions.
The memorial was built in 1840 through public donations to honor those who resisted during Napoleon's invasion. The original was lost but was reconstructed later due to community effort.
The memorial honors local residents who came together voluntarily to defend their city. This collective response shows how communities mobilized when their home faced danger.
The site is located in the center of Veliky Novgorod and is easy to reach on foot. Visitors can approach it freely throughout the year in an open area.
The current memorial is a reconstruction of the original, which disappeared in the early 1900s. Its rebuilding demonstrates how important this memory remained to the city.
