The war memorial for the victims of the First World War was erected in 1922 and commemorates the fallen soldiers from the parish of Bergen. The memorial consists of a curved wall with two lateral columns and is accessed via two steps. Five bronze plaques bear the names of 241 fallen soldiers, arranged according to the localities of the region. The memorial is crowned by a figure of a fallen soldier, over whom a soldier wearing a steel helmet is leaning.
