Wykus was the base of Polish partisans. During the January Uprising, insurgents commanded by Marian Langiewicz were stationed here. During World War II, camps of Polish underground soldiers were located here, first under the command of Maj. Henryk Dobrzański "Hubal", later the Home Army Partisan Groups "Ponury" - lieutenant cc. Jan Piwnik "Ponury". On On September 15, 1957, in the place of the former camp, a chapel with the image of Our Lady of Sorrows was unveiled, commemorating those who died in the fight for the homeland. On its walls there are 123 nicknames of soldiers who died during the war. The shrine is surrounded by a wall, on which there are several hundred plaques with the names of the dead soldiers of the "Ponury" and "Nurt" groups. The chapel with the surrounding area within a radius of 30 m is the "Wykus" National Memorial Site and is entered in the register of immovable monuments. Every year, on the second Saturday of June, ceremonies commemorating the fallen soldiers of the Partisan Groups of the Home Army "Ponury" are organized in Wykus. Wykus (326 m above sea level) is also a nature reserve.
