The Włodawa synagogue was built between 1764 and 1774 on the site of a former wooden synagogue. Burned during the First World War, desecrated during the Second World War, the synagogue served as a warehouse until 1970. In the 1980s, after extensive renovation work, a museum on the history and culture of Polish Jews was opened there.
St. Michael's Church is an Orthodox church, a monument of Baroque architecture. It was built along with a wooden belfry at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries and restored in the 1860s. The apse is distinguished by various wooden iconostases made in the 1830s.
The Basilica of Saint Anne of Kodeń was built in 1629-1635 in a late Renaissance style in place of an old wooden church from 1599. From 1875 to 1917, it was transformed into an Orthodox church. After Poland's independence, she became a Roman Catholic church again.
