Łosice: City History and Relaxation by the Reservoir

• The Church of St. Zygmunt, King and Martyr, is an unrendered brick building with Neo-Gothic features.
• The market square was laid out in 1505 as part of a spatial reorganization of the town.
• There is a walking and cycling path around the Łosicki Reservoir.

The market square offers a starting point for understanding the history of Łosice: it was laid out in 1505 as part of the town’s spatial reorganization. The historic townscape also includes a wooden town hall with a masonry tower. The foundations of the town tower, dating from the early 16th century, can also be found in Łosice. These details draw attention to different aspects of the town center—its layout, the former town hall and architectural traces from the early modern period.

Another focal point is the Roman Catholic Church of St. Zygmunt, King and Martyr. Its unrendered brick façade and Neo-Gothic features give it a clearly defined architectural character. The three-aisled hall interior is divided by pillars into four bays. Visitors interested in architecture will find specific features at both the market square and the church that can provide a focus for their own walking tour of the town.

The recreational area around the Łosicki Reservoir includes a walking and cycling path. The wider Łosice destination also has the “Środowisko wodne” (“Water Environment”) educational trail. This means there is both a route for getting active and an educational trail specifically focused on water.

The Ł-3 survey vessel is also located at the Łosicki Reservoir. The wider Łosice destination describes the Ł-3 survey boat as the only one of its kind in Poland. Alongside the path and educational trail, the reservoir therefore offers a distinct technical point of interest, different from the historic buildings in the town center.

The described highlights make it easy to compare your travel interests: the church, market square and historic building remains are the main attractions in the town center, while around the reservoir you’ll find the walking and cycling path, the educational trail and the survey vessel. This distinction can help you decide in advance whether you’d prefer to focus your time on the town’s history or its recreational area.

The road connections also provide an orientation point for the wider Łosice destination: the Lublin–Białystok, Warsaw–Siedlce–Białystok and Warsaw–Janów Podlaski–Terespol routes meet there. These routes describe Łosice as a local road transport hub.
