In the fields in the north-western part of Syryna, in the vicinity of the mysterious Mound, there is the grave of the Bordynowa Lady, or Zofia Eleonory von Bodenhausen, owner of the estates of Tworków and Grabów. According to legend, she was buried in the place where the oxen carrying her coffin came to a halt. Zofia Eleonora von Bodenhausen was born in 1676. She was an educated person in Dresden, coming from the highest social spheres, and was fluent in both German and French languages. After the death of her husband, she took up residence in the manor in Grabówka. She was remembered by the inhabitants as a kind lady. After selling the indebted Grabów, she left for Brzeg, where she died on April 12, 1751. According to her will, which was formally read at the town hall in Brzeg and is preserved in the Protestant church, Zofia Eleonora wished to be buried in a manner known to the residents of Lubomia for centuries: 'When I die, place my body in a coffin, put it on a simple cart drawn by two oxen. Where they stop for the third time, bury me there.' Contemporary archaeological research conducted in 2015 revealed that the baroness's burial place was not accidental. During the excavations, in addition to Eleonora's remains, the bones of two of her deceased children were also discovered -- Heinrich Erpo (1699-1717) and Anna Magdalena (1701-1717). The hill on which the grave and restored monument are located overlooks the surrounding area, lying between Lubomia and Syryna, near the road leading from the former manor in Grabówka. It affords a panoramic view of the expansive Oder valley.
