The Peace Oak was planted in the middle of the market square on October 18, 1871 to commemorate the victory over the French. The war memorial was dedicated on October 18, 1885 in memory of those who died in the campaigns of 1864, 1866 and 1870/71.

As a memorial to the many dead, such cenotaphs or war memorials remain very important to this day. "Now, Lord, you let your servant depart in peace, as you have said..." says the so-called "Hymn of Simeon" (Luke 2:29). However, the people commemorated here did not depart in peace, but became victims of war and tyranny. Many places and monuments encountered along the way are a testament—still significant and relevant today—to the horrors of war and tyranny. They all serve two essential functions:
-1- To commemorate and remember the victims
-2- To remind us of the need to maintain peace
