Gucin Gaj, Palace and memorial garden in Stary Służew, Warsaw, Poland.

The estate includes a 60-meter underground brick corridor with vaulted ceiling and wide niches, situated below St. Catherine's Church on the northern slope.

Between 1817 and 1830, Stanisław Kostka Potocki constructed this residence with English landscape elements, including a manor house, garden, and orchard.

After Potocki's death, his wife Aleksandra established a memorial garden featuring trees and obelisks placed by notable figures of Polish society.

The underground corridor currently functions as a natural monument, providing a winter shelter for various bat species that inhabit the structure.

The brick tunnel contains distinctive niches that led to its local name 'Masonic tombs,' suggesting connections to historical Masonic gatherings.
