General
The war memorial in Fahernorf is a memorial to the fallen soldiers of the First World War in the villages of Kirchdorf and Führenorf, from which the village of Kirchfahorf was created. It stands on a two-tiered base and is made of shell limestone . The war memorial was inaugurated on May 23, 1920.
