"The Tuscan Column, dating from 1766, is located in the western part of the city, at the radial intersection of 1000-lecia PP Street, Kraszewskiego Street, and Jana Pawła II Street. It was erected on an earthen embankment. During World War I, it was surrounded by a fence with plaques commemorating Austrian and German soldiers who died in 1915. It is shaped like a Tuscan column on a plinth topped with a cross." In the 1960s, plaques from a war cemetery were placed at the foot of the obelisk, inscribed with the names of German and Austro-Hungarian soldiers who died during the fighting in the area in 1915.

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.

The Roman Catholic Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord is located in the eastern part of Mielnik, on a hill. It is an oriented, neo-Baroque church, with its facade facing the road. The church was built in the years 1912-1920. Its efficient construction was prevented by war accidents and financial difficulties. During the Polish-Bolshevik fighting in 1920, the church was damaged, so its full completion took place after all the fighting had ceased. Even before the Bolshevik invasion, thanks to the efforts of Father Ikonowicz, it was possible to build a large altar, the most necessary accessories for celebrating the Holy Mass were acquired and the old organ was installed. Thanks to the efforts of the next parish priest - Father Konstanty Cegielski, two bells were funded in 1927. In 1940, the church was converted into a canteen for Soviet soldiers guarding the border. In 1941 and 1944, artillery shells destroyed the porch and damaged the walls and roof. During this period, partial repairs to the church were started by the then administrator of the Mielnik parish – Fr. Henryk Kardasz, parish priest from Niemirów. After another destruction in 1944, the church was partially restored. In 1972, a belfry was built. Next to the church is the cemetery of the Transfiguration of the Lord, established in 1913, where the parish priest of Mielnik was buried. Next to the church, in 1981, a chapel of St. Barbara, the patron saint of miners and workers of the Mielnik chalk mine, was built. Two missionary crosses were also placed on the church square, one of which was consecrated by Pope John Paul II during his pilgrimage to Drohiczyn in 1999. Since 1950, pastoral work in the Mielnik parish has been carried out by the fathers from the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Currently, the main altar contains a painting of the Mother of God with Child, while the side altars contain paintings of the Transfiguration of the Lord and Blessed Father Damian de Veuster from the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts.
