Sławatycze

Sławatycze sits along the Polish-Belarusian border, functioning as a central point for the gmina administration at an elevation of 153 meters above sea level.

The village experienced tragic events in June 1942 when German forces gathered and murdered 1,300 Jewish residents, burying them in a mass grave at the local cemetery.

The presence of both Orthodox and Catholic churches in Sławatycze reflects the historical religious diversity of the eastern Polish borderlands through architectural heritage.

The border crossing station processes up to 2,500 vehicles daily between Poland and Belarus, serving as a major transportation link for cars and minivans.

The village maintains its position as an administrative center while standing at the intersection of three distinct cultural regions: Poland, Belarus, and historical Brest Litovsk.
