From history classes it is known that in 1876 Hristo Botev’s detachment was defeated near Wola peak. Twelve of the rebels, led by Georgi Apostolov, tried to reach the village Lyutibrod, but in the area Ritlite near the Iskar river they were ambushed and killed to the last one.

The leader of the Turks, Saadatin Efendi, ordered their heads to be cut, impaled on stakes and brought in Orhanie (present day Botevgrad). The sinister procession passed through the village of Skravena, birthplace of Georgi Apostolov. All residents were taken out to see the heads of the decapitated rebels as a warning of what awaits them if they disobey the Turkish authorities.

The local leaders Georgi Stamenov and Petko Studenkovski offered a ransom and have asked the kaimakam (the local turkish governor) that the heads shall be passed to them under the pretext that otherwise the procession would scare women away. The kaimakam agreed, complying with the order of Istanbul not to be raised much fuss about the rebellious Bulgarian population due to the European journalists, who then reflected the horrors of which was subjected the Bulgarian population in the Ottoman Empire.

So the heads of the last survivors of the detachment of Hristo Botev remained in Skravena. The local women have washed them and wrapped them in canvas, but before they bury one of zaptiehs (police officer) - Yasar Cholaka decided to take two of the heads in his village Ugurtsi (Gurkovo today). So in the yard of the rural church in Skravena were buried by the local priest Dimitar only ten of the heads of the rebels.

On June 3, 1930, on a proposal from Georgi Popdimitrov, son of that same priest Dimitar, the heads were moved to a special showcase of the church. In 1982 they were moved to their current location. It is the reason Orhanie to be renamed Botevgrad. The ossuary of the Botev’s detachment is located in a building that was built and designed by the architect Rositsa Grancharova and the sculptor Stephana Boyadjieva. The artist Bozhidar Ovcharov painted some of the decorations of the ossuary.
