Discover Łosice

For planning your trip, Łosice offers two distinct focuses: architectural and urban history, and the recreation area around the Łosicki Reservoir. The Roman Catholic Church of St. Zygmunt, King and Martyr, and the market square laid out in 1505 provide historical highlights. By the reservoir, there is also a walking and cycling path, the “Środowisko wodne” educational trail, and the Ł-3 survey boat.

City History and Architecture

The Church of St. Zygmunt, King and Martyr, in Łosice is an unplastered brick building with neo-Gothic features. The exposed brickwork and neo-Gothic elements give the building a distinct architectural and stylistic character. Inside, the church is designed as a three-aisled hall; pillars divide the space into four bays. This makes it possible to describe the architecture in terms of both its materials and style and the layout of the hall. The aisles and bays describe different aspects of the interior rather than merely repeating a general stylistic label.

Łosice’s market square was laid out in 1505 as part of the city’s spatial reorganization. This date provides a clear historical point of reference for the city’s layout. A wooden town hall with a masonry tower once stood in the historic market square. Łosice is also home to the foundations of a town tower dating from the early 16th century. Together, the square, the former town hall, and the tower foundations offer different ways to explore the city’s architectural history.

The Łosicki Reservoir and Its Paths

The recreation area around the Łosicki Reservoir includes a walking and cycling path. This gives you the option of making outdoor recreation by the reservoir a focus of your trip, alongside the city’s architectural and historical attractions. You can decide whether to focus your stay mainly on city history or spend more time in the area by the reservoir. The path is described as suitable for both walking and cycling, so you do not need to assume a particular way of using it.

The area by the Łosicki Reservoir also includes the “Środowisko wodne” (“Water Environment”) educational trail, which focuses on the aquatic environment. The Ł-3 survey boat is also at the reservoir and is considered the only one of its kind in Poland. The path, educational trail, and boat represent different aspects of the recreation area: a route for walking or cycling, a themed learning trail, and a survey boat. When deciding what interests you for your trip, these distinctions can help you identify the different options available in Łosice.
