A green hedge surrounds the gravel-covered area, creating a small, enclosed area at the center of which stands the War Memorial. The older section, constructed of light-colored stone, contains a plaque with the names of the fallen soldiers from the First World War, with a reclining figure above it. The more recent additions on either side, containing the list of victims of the Second World War, are clearly contrasted in design. Evergreen thujas (arborvitae) form the background.
