At the beginning of the 17th century, Maria Magdalena von Lobkowicz acquired the Bříství estate and joined it to the Kounice estate .
After the abolition of patrimonial Bříství formed a municipality in the Český Brod district from 1850 . Since 1961 the community belongs to Okres Nymburk. After the construction of the motorway, the character of the village changed. Urban houses were built in the center of the village, which was previously characterized by farmsteads.
