The monument is dedicated to the heroes fallen in the fierce battles of the Susita Valley and is the testimony of the suffering of the entire community occupied by the German armies. The construction of the mausoleum took place between 1922 and 1927.

Both sober and majestic, the Mausoleum of Soveja is shaped as a cross with rounded apsides; access to the main entrance is made via stone steps with a wide opening that optically magnifies the monumental and massive character of the building. The monument expands in the form of four consecutive terraces, starting from a semi-circular platform in the centre of which is placed an ornamental pot of ceramic of cyclopean dimensions. On both sides of the first row of stairs are placed - each on its socket - two cannons used in the battles of the First World War. The mausoleum's enclosure is surrounded by a river stone fence.

The Mausoleum shelters the remains of 528 Romanian, Russian, German and Hungarian heroes (inside, the marble plaques are inscribed with the names of the identified heroes). The ossuary houses 1,600 bones forming a parallelepiped, at its centre, giving it an impressive appearance.
