There is an interesting pyramid-shaped tomb here, built in 1780 during the German-Prussian era when the village was called Ober-Rosen. It was designed by Carl Gotthard Langhans (who also designed the Brandenburg Gate) and housed the tombs of Prussian general Karl Adolf August von Eben und Brunnen and his closest relatives. The graves were desecrated by Soviet troops in 1945.
