Home Army grave.
In a forest clearing near the non-existent Bobrowicze settlement, on the site of a farm burnt down by the NKVD, there is a mass grave of Home Army soldiers from the group of Lieutenant Kopaczek "Jodła" and a cadet. Eryk Barcz "Eryk", part of the 1st Active Self-Defense Division of the Vilnius Region. They died on September 14, 1944, in the fight against the operational group of the 32nd motorized rifle regiment of the NKVD Internal Forces. Earlier, this unit burned down the selsoviet in Lazduny and broke the Soviet manhunt, inflicting heavy losses on it. However, he was again located and encircled by the overwhelming enemy forces. During the several-hour-long fight a dozen or even 24 soldiers of the Home Army died. The grave was set up in September 1996 thanks to the efforts of Stanisław Paszul "Węgiel", partisan of the 6th Battalion of the 77th Polish Home Army, who was included in this fight and sentenced to 25 years in labor camps (after being released in 1956 and returning to Poland, and then emigrating in 1963 to the United States, he initiated the erection of the Katyn Memorial in Jersey City). In June 2022, the grave was destroyed by the Belarusian authorities.
