Church of the Protection of the Mother of God - Orthodox parish church in Sławatycze. It belongs to the Terespol deanery of the Lublin-Chełm diocese of the Polish Autocephalous Orthodox Church.

The first Orthodox church in Sławatycze was built at the end of the 15th or at the beginning of the 16th century. After 1596, the parish that administered it accepted the union. The currently functioning Orthodox church was erected in the years 1910-1912 in place of a former Uniate building from the 18th century. The founder of the building was a Slavophile publicist and landowner Klawdij Paschałow. The building was commissioned in September 1912 and since then it has been the main temple of the parish in Sławatycze. In the years 1915–1918, the church served as a field hospital. In the Second Polish Republic, it again became an active Orthodox temple. In 1938, it was on the list of churches to be destroyed as part of the Polonization and Revindication action, but its demolition was stopped by the parish priest of the local Roman Catholic parish. In 1947, when the Orthodox population of Sławatycze was deported as part of the "Wisła" Operation, the church was abandoned and fell into disrepair for the next three years. Irregular services were held there from Easter in 1952. It was restored to permanent liturgical use in 1965 thanks to the efforts of the superior of the monastery of St. Onofrio in Jabłeczna, Archimandrite Eulogius.

Inside the temple there is a single-row iconostasis with an arch above the royal gate, on which more round icons are visible. Saints associated with Byzantium and Kievan Rus are depicted in two groups above the iconostasis[3]. Such iconostases were present in all Orthodox churches erected according to the same design by Puring, funded by the Paschal family[21]. Icons of Christ Pantocrator and St. Nicholas from the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries [3]. In addition, the church is equipped with an icon of the patrons of the family that founded the facility - Saints Claudius, Elizabeth and Basil
