Zaczerlany is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Choroszcz, within Białystok County, Podlaskie Voivodeship, in north-eastern Poland.

The monument in the village is a granite obelisk topped with a cast iron orthodox cross. There was an unknown icon on the monument. Below the icon, there are two commemorative plaques with Cyrillic inscriptions. This is the last known remaining monument in modern Poland that is related to the Tsar as after Poland gained independence all monuments of the Romanov family themselves were destroyed along with many others.
