It is known that the Atik mosque, or Sava mosque, existed before 1651. From the very name Atik, which means old in Turkish, we can conclude that it is the oldest mosque in Brcko. It was originally made of wood and has been enlarged over time due to the increase in the number of believers in the city. The entire mosque was demolished on July 17, 1992. It was renovated in 2006 in its original form.
The Bijela Mosque, whose name means the White Mosque, is located in Brčko, between the Atik Savska Džamija Mosque and the Hadži-Pašina Mosque.
Hadži Pašina Mosque was built in the first half of the 19th century by Hadži Paša Mujkanović. His brother, Hadži Dizdar's, built an identical mosque known as Dizdaria mosque, which was destroyed in Soviet times.
The Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus was built between 1883 and 1885. It was severely damaged during the First World War. The new church was built next to the old one in 1933 according to Karl Paržik's design. In 1934 another sacristy was added. Albert Gruber was hired to create frescoes and wall decorations.
