Losk. The Church of St. George the Victorious.

The town of Losk in the Volozhin district has been known since the 14th century. During this era, a castle was built, which lasted until the 18th century. For a long time, the town was owned by the Kishka magnates, who were committed to the Reformation and founded a printing house in Loska in the 16th century.

After the partitions of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth at the end of the 18th century, these places became part of the Russian Empire. In 1868, an Orthodox church was built in the very center of the town, which was consecrated in honor of St. George the Victorious. The temple was built of rubble stone according to a typical project in the pseudo – Russian style.

Over time, a two-grade parish school was opened at the church.

In Soviet times, after the Great Patriotic War, the temple was closed and the room was adapted for the granary of the local collective farm. All the decorations of the church were looted, including three bells from the belfry. And once, during the cleaning, a fire broke out in the building and the temple stood in such desolation until 1990.

The ruins were given to Orthodox believers, who created a church council and work began on restoring the shrine. In the spring of 1993, the church began to work again.

The building is rectangular in plan, covered with a gable roof. It consists of a vestibule and a prayer hall. A three–tiered eight-on-four belfry tower is built over the narthex. A rubble stone wall and a fence were built in front of the church.

Not far from the church is the font of St. Panteleimon.
