The place name is traced back to a Polish Łowosow meaning hunting village .

After the First Silesian War in 1742, Lowoschau and most of Silesia fell to Prussia . The place was mentioned in 1783 in the book Additions to the Description of Silesia as Lowoschau , belonged to a Count von Gashin and was in the Rosenberg district of the Principality of Opole . At that time it had 172 inhabitants, two farms , 10 gardeners and 6 cottagers.

After the reorganization of the province of Silesia , the rural community of Lowoschau belonged to the district of Rosenberg OS in the administrative district of Opole from 1816 . In 1845 there was a farm, a brewery, a distillery and 47 houses in the village. In the same year 394 people lived in Lowoschau, 15 of them Protestants and 14 Jewish. In 1855 the village numbered 480 people. In 1865 there were 8 whole farmers, 13 half farmers, 8 whole gardeners, 5 half gardeners and 4 cottagers. In 1874 the Albrechtshof district was founded, which consisted of the rural communities of Albrechtsdorf, Alt Rosenberg and Lowoschau and the manor districts of Albrechtsdorf, Alt Rosenberg, Lowoschau and Walzen. In 1885, Lowoschau had 368 inhabitants.

In the referendum in Upper Silesia on March 20, 1921, 126 eligible voters voted for Upper Silesia to remain with Germany and 175 for membership in Poland. At Gut Wachow 125 voted for Germany and 69 for Poland. After the division of Upper Silesia, Lowoschau remained with the German Empire . In 1925, Lowoschau had 550 and in 1933 682 inhabitants. On April 27, 1936, the place was renamed Lauschen in the course of a wave of renaming during the Nazi era . On April 1, 1938, Lauschen was incorporated into the rural community of Kirchwalde . Until 1945 the place was in the district of Rosenberg .

In 1945 the formerly German town came under Polish administration and was then attached to the Silesian Voivodeship and renamed the Polish Łowoszów . In 1950 the place came to the Opole Voivodeship and in 1975 to the Czestochowa Voivodeship. In 1999 the place came to the re-established Powiat Oleski and again to the Opole Voivodeship.
