The Church of the Assumption was built in the cemetery on the outskirts of the village of Losince in 1862 and was attached to the Torokan parish church.

+ +

The consecration of the church on June 2, 1870 in the service of four priests was performed by the Antopolskiy district priest Foma Ballandowicz.

+ +

At the end of the XIX century in the church there was a locally venerated icon of the Virgin Mary 0.9 meters high and 0.6 meters wide. The icon was painted on a canvas with oil paints, dressed in a silvered riza, with gilded crowns near the heads of the Virgin and the Savior. The Virgin was depicted on the right hand of the Mother of God, blessing with His right hand. From what time and whence this icon appeared in the temple is not known.

On Schubert's maps of 1866-1887 the church was located between 2 cemeteries.
