    The "Napoleonic" cross on the Vistula River in Kaniów was raised to the glory of God, to recall an important event, which was the attempt to save Poland's sovereignty thanks to the Napoleonic wars.
    In 1813, Polish national units, commanded by Józef Poniatowski, the commander-in-chief of the Polish Army, marched through the local lands. Under the command of Count Józef Sułkowski, adjutant of Napoleon Bonaparte, officer Konstanty Chodorowicz, who died in a fight with the Prussians in 1807, near Mikołów, fought.
    His remains rest in the chapel within the Bestwiński church.
    The events of those years are commemorated by the cross in Kaniów on the so-called The "crossroad" of the following roads: Rybacka, Jawiszowicka and Battalions Chłopskie.
    A monumental cross with an unusual artistic structure, it is a picturesque and charming roadside monument.
