On August 19, 1934, the gray granite monument at the place of the first battle of Oskar Kalpak's battalion was unveiled near the Lielauce Lutheran Church. The memorial was designed according to the architect P. Dreimaņi's design. The Lielauce battle took place on the night of January 15-16, 1919, between the Kalpakians Cēsa and the Officers' Company on the one hand, and the soldiers of the 2nd Rifle Regiment. In the early 1950s, the monument was destroyed, but restored in 1991.
