The equestrian statue of General Johan Laidoner is situated near the castle hills in Viljandi.

This monument, designed by sculptor Terje Ojaver, was unveiled in 2004.

Dedicated to Commander-in-Chief General Johan Laidoner, it was the first and to date remains the only equestrian statue in Estonia. The prominent military man and politician, who was born in the county, was the first honorary citizen of Viljandi.
