    A monument dedicated to the January insurgents who died here in 1863. It is located on a small hill called "Szubienica" (Gallows) due to the execution of 11 insurgents here. The monument was erected in 1989 thanks to the efforts of the Society of Friends of Choroszcz. Its author is the visual artist Wojciech Załęski, who is a passionate historian (an invaluable expert on the history and culture of the Supraska region). The main performer of this work is Mieczysław Hulewicz, an artist-blacksmith from Czarna Wieś Kościelna, who is one of the most active blacksmiths in Podlasie, combining the traditions of folk and artistic blacksmithing.

    Next to it we can see 11 symbolic crosses and boards with the names of fallen insurgents (from the local parish) and others who participated in the fights. At the foot of the slope you see the emblem of insurgent and doze next to the fireplace.
