Abstract: Static, spherically symmetric configurations of gravity with nonminimally coupled scalar fields are considered in D-dimensional space-times in the framework of generalized scalar-tensor theories. We seek special cases when the system has no naked singularity but instead forms either a black hole, or a wormhole. General conditions when this is possible are formulated. In particlar, some such special cases are indicated for multidimensional Brans-Dicke theory and for linear, massless, nonminimally coupled scalar fields. It is shown that in the Brans-Dicke theory the only black-hole solution corresponds to D=4 and the coupling constant omega< -2, and there is a wormhole solution for omega=0. For linear scalar fields it is shown that the only black-hole solution is the well-known one (D=4, a black hole with scalar charge), while the known 4-dimensional wormhole solution is generalized to systems with conformal coupling in arbitrary dimension.
