Church of the Elevation of the Holy Cross

The Late Gothic church in Łozice was built at the turn of the 14th century. It was an aisleless church, without a separated presbytery, made of erratic blocks on a rectangular plan, with the brick eastern apex (with blends). In 1945 the church was partly destroyed and later it was demolished. Until the beginning of the 21st century the southern and eastern walls remained. The eastern wall was made of stone at the bottom and had two window openings with gentle arches separated with a blend, and the upper part was made of brick and had 8 blends and pinnacles. By the church there is rural cemetery (0.8 ha) which used to be surrounded by a 15th-century stone wall with a Late Gothic brick gate dated around 1550, with a blend decorated with a complex net tracery ornament. The gate is considered one of the most interesting monuments of this type. At the cemetery there are remains of a destroyed monument in memory of the residents of Lozice who lost their lives in the First World War. In 2005 Tomasz Koszyk, the parish priest in Kozielice took the initiative to rebuild the church in Łozice. The project was successfully completed due to the effort the residents, the priest and the commune authorities.
