The most noticeable feature of the square in the city center is the shaped bushes – penguins, inverted cones, etc. and the fountain "Dzirnakmens" made of real millstones, which was reconstructed in 2009.
The name of the square marks the location of the historical Southern Mill. After World War II, the Komsomol Square was created here with diagonal paths, a large flower bed in the center, plaster busts of the leaders - Lenin and Stalin, and the city's Honorary Plaque. The current design of the square has existed since 2. In the spring of 1995, the square was improved - new benches were installed, and the square was illuminated.
