The main purpose of this article is an attempt at the description of the role of roadside shrines andcrosses in geographical names. The study encompasses more than 1,000 microtoponyms collectedin the years 2011–2017 in the area around the village of Wręczyca Wielka near Kłobuck (Silesianvoivodeship). The analysis also offers a justification for the onyms, as well as stories and legendselicited during informal conversations with the middle and the oldest generation of inhabitants ofthe explored area. The author uses the research tools of cultural onomastics.The objects of sacral architecture which appear in geographical names frequently have a numberof functions. Mostly, roadside shrines and crosses help to locate or mark fields, meadows, forestsand paths. Furthermore, the data that shed light on the motivation of microtoponyms documentthe relationship between the abovementioned examples of sacral architecture with the surroundingphysiographic objects, highlighting the role of these forms in folk culture. Both roadside crossesand shrines commemorate past events and preserve the elements of rural customs. The few specimensof sacral architecture functioning as the motivation for microtoponyms also confirm the factthat, for the oldest generation of village inhabitants, religion is still one of the most important values.
