Sleeping lion (Lion Anrepi)
Not far from the manor Kärstna (Kerstenhof) in Viljandi County there is a cemetery and a crypt of the von Anrep family. It is notable for the fact that there is a sleeping lion reclining on a huge boulder. The sculpture was installed in memory of his father in 1844 by Lieutenant General Josep von Anrep, the son of Lieutenant General Reinhold von Anrep, who fell in 1807 at the Battle of Austerlitz.
There are similar instances of the lion in Lübeck and Gliwice.
There is also a metal mast of unknown purpose.
