Monument to the Battle of Lappeenranta (Vilmanstrand) or 'Monument to the Log'

Monument to the Battle of Lappeenranta (Vilmanstrand) or 'Monument to the Log'

A monument to the battle of 1741 was erected near the remains of the Swedish fortifications. The remains themselves (a historical log), unfortunately, are not visible in the picture. They say that the monument is called "Monument to the log". They say that immediately after the assault, rivers of blood poured out of the gates of the fortress, by which this log was carried to this very place. By the way, it should be noted that the majority of the troops of the Swedish crown in Finland consisted of local Finns, especially the rank and file and the lower ranks.
