12 soldiers who died fighting for the liberation of the village from the Nazi invaders on September 11, 1943 are buried. The names of 10 soldiers are known. In 1975, the remains of the dead from different places were transferred to a mass grave, on which a granite stele and a slab with a memorial inscription were installed in the same year. In 1990, a concrete stele with the image of three soldiers and the surname of one of the soldiers and the dates of his life was installed behind the grave. Pillars with the dates "1941 - 1945" and the names of the dead compatriots were installed on both sides of the grave.
