The Church of the Protection of the Mother of God in Sławatycze is an impressive Orthodox church from the early 20th century, the main spiritual centre of the local community. Built in 1910–1912 according to the design of Alexander Puring, it represents the Byzantine-Russian style with characteristic red walls and white details and five onion-shaped domes. The church survived a turbulent history, including the war period, the Vistula Action and years of devastation, but thanks to the efforts of Orthodox monks from Jabłeczna and the support of parishioners, it was renovated. The church is located on Kodeńska Street, right next to the market square, and today it once again delights with its restored frescoes and icons, being an interesting place to stop during a bicycle trip through Podlasie and Polesie.

It's worth getting off the bike and walking around the building to see the paintings up close :) this one is especially surprising
