In 1943, after the liberation of the village, the remains of partisans from different places were transferred to a mass grave in the center of the village. An obelisk was installed on the grave in the same year. Reconstruction was carried out in 1971. A cast-iron plate with a memorial inscription and the names of the dead is installed on the grave. Behind the grave is a rectangular concrete stele, in the upper part of which there is a bas-relief image of a grieving woman. In the lower part of the stele there are 21 cast-iron plates with the names of 208 compatriot soldiers who died during the Second World War.
