Na brehu prehradní nádrže Rozkoš u bývalé hasicské zborojnice (stavení s vížkou) stojí menší pískovcový pomník s kamenným krížem s nápisem: "Památník od pruské války s nákladem Josefa Valtery".
Pomník stál dríve asi 400 kroku jižne - v míste dnes zatopeném. Kosterní pozustatky 7 padlých zustaly tam.
