On the southern edge of the village of Górki grew a magnificent 170-year-old pine tree, whose branches hung down to the ground. On these branches, the Cossacks hanged the insurgents who had escaped into the forest after the Battle of Buda Zaborowska (April 10, 1863) and were captured in this area. During the fight, the commander of the insurgent unit, Major Walerian Remiszewski, sent some of the unarmed insurgents into the forest. After defeating the unit, the Russians chased the escapees, and those captured without trial were hanged.

A pine tree struck down by lightning on April 1, 1984 lies next to a small monument in the form of a boulder in honor of the Insurgents of 1863. Traces of the severed branches, from which commemorative crosses were made, are visible. Next to it, on a hill, there is a field chapel in the form of two wooden roofs-tents with figures of saints (by Małgorzata Tomaszkiewicz) and a stone altar table. The whole is crowned by a high wooden cross.
