A branch of the parish of Our Lady Queen of Poland in Brzeg Dolny.

Mentions of the church appear as early as 1376.

Between 1579 and 1670, several church visitations were carried out in the diocese of Wrocław. The minutes, written in Latin, also included the name of the village of Łososiowice and references to the church. The spelling of the village name varied: in 1638 - Lohswitz, in 1651-52 - Loswitz, in 1666-7 - Losswitz. The reason for the mentions in the minutes was the deplorable state in which the church was located. This condition was probably the result of damage during the Thirty Years' War. The then stone tower was completely collapsed and the believing villagers increasingly went to the church in Stobno. At that time, the church was dedicated to St. Hedwig of Silesia and St. Michael the Archangel. The reconstruction took place between 1700 and 1701 and was initiated by Ludwig Bauch, abbot of the Cistercian monastery in Lubiąż from 1696 to 1729. The interior of the church is baroque in style with a gallery (music choir) in the interior. At the entrance to the church are three grave crosses (dated 1869, 1892 and 1908), belonging to the Stober family, whose representatives held the hereditary office of reeve in the village in the 19th century.

Until 1945 there was a Roman Catholic parish here, to which the branch church in Jodłowice belonged. The long list of German priests working here is completed by Father Alois Pohl. He was parish priest in Łososiowice from 1907 until the end of January 1945, when he was probably murdered during the Red Army offensive. His corpse and that of his housekeeper were found by German villagers who had returned home after an earlier escape from Red Army soldiers. Fr Pohl was buried in the cemetery next to the church.

The care of the church and the believers in Łososiowice was taken over by Rev. Kukowka from Wołów, who also spoke Polish.

In the autumn of 1947, the last German inhabitants left Łososiowice.

Of the parish books from before World War II, which were kept from 1774, the only ones that have survived are the baptismal books from 1891 to 1945. They are currently stored in the Archdiocesan Archive in Wrocław.
