History

Local Catholic church in 1913

It was granted town rights in 1643 by King Władysław IV Vasa.[3] In the 18th century, the starostwo of Łohiszyn passed between the Radziwiłł, Ogiński and Lubecki noble families.[3] It was administratively located in the Pińsk County in the Brześć Litewski Voivodeship of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.

In the interwar period Łohiszyn, as it was known in Polish, was a town administratively located in the Pińsk County in the Polesie Voivodeship of Poland.[4] According to the 1921 Polish census, the population was 92.2% Polish and 7.7% Jewish.[4]

Following the invasion of Poland at the start of World War II in September 1939, Łohiszyn was first occupied by the Soviet Union until 1941, then by Nazi Germany until 1944, and then re-occupied by the Soviet Union, which eventually annexed it from Poland in 1945.
