Such a great number of them is closely connected with folk beliefs and religious spirit so common among Polish nation. Their popularity was influenced by nearby crowbars full of stone which was used in such structures. The work also includes the characteristics of the factors influencing the deterioration of stone in these structures. Apart from that, the analysis of 29 samples taken from 30 objects was conducted. Thanks to the macro- and microscopic observations, and to the results of EDS analysis, it has been proved that most of the stone deterioration is due to the activity of the following factors: antropogenic, mechanic and biological ones.
