      A symbolic mound with a wooden cross, made of earth, is located by a forest path, in the forest near the villages of Gołąbki and Gościeszyn. A soldier of Napoleon's infantry who died in 1812 was buried here.

      For 200 years, the nameless grave has been looked after by the inhabitants of the villages of Gołąbki and Ochodza. The memory is passed down from generation to generation, the grave has been tidied up over the years, thanks to which it has survived. Throughout all these years, the grave with the cross has been preserved, on it a plaque with the inscription: "Here lies a Napoleonic soldier of French nationality. He died in 1812."

      In 2012, a stone boulder with a commemorative plaque in Polish and French was placed next to the symbolic tombstone, dedicated to commemorate the march of Napoleon's troops on Moscow.
