Koden: Sanktuarium Matki Bożej - skiej - Królowej Podlasia - Matki Jedności
Built around a riverside settlement on the Bug River, Kodeń grew into a small village and an important Marian pilgrimage centre in Poland. Its focal point is St Anne’s Minor Basilica, a 17th-century church serving as the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Kodeń. The sanctuary preserves a venerated Marian image central to the community’s religious identity. Kodeń was long associated with the Sapieha family, one of the leading magnate houses of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. Within the basilica, a richly gilded altar and ordered nave lend the church a formal devotional character. The village stands in eastern Lublin Voivodeship, near Belarus, in the broad valley of the Bug.
