The monument is the work of sculptor Miroslav Harašta. The central part of the monument is a pylon with Štefánik's bust, under which was originally a relief Lamenting the Fallen, replaced by a relief of warriors in the 1970s. In the upper part of the pylon is the Slovak coat of arms. In the seventies of the 20th century, it was covered with the symbol of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic, and a large five-pointed star was placed on top of the monument. At that time, they also removed Štefánik's bust and replaced it with a reverent wreath.
