roundabout in the road. This monument, dedicated to the son of a local landowner, dates back to the Napoleonic era. The son was enlisted in the War. During this time, he went missing, and he was presumed dead. His father instructed the tower be built in his honour. It was never completed, as the son returned during construction. Today, its upper section serves as a water tower.
