Five soldiers who died on September 10, 1943 during the liberation of the village from the Nazi invaders are buried. The names of all the dead are known. In 1947, the remains of the dead from different places were transferred to a mass grave, on which a reinforced concrete sculpture of a warrior was installed in 1957. On the brick pedestal there is a board with an inscription and the names of the dead. In 1967, to the left of the sculpture, a concrete stele with 6 boards was installed, on which the names of 123 compatriot soldiers who died during the Second World War were engraved.
