The Porta Apostolorum monastery had owned goods here since the 12th and 13th centuries and established the provost's office Cella januae vitae on the Zellberg . This was destroyed during the Hussite Wars . To the west Potok location of Mila in the headwaters of Bečovský provost today only the place names remind Na Celách / at the Holy Trinity Church and the German name Písečný vrch: Zellberg .
The first written mention of Brzwany took place in 1436, when Emperor Sigismund ascribed the place Beneš von Kolowrat . In fact, however, the village was owned by the city of Louny , which had usurped the monastery property in 1420.
There was a festival in the village on the site of the rectory. In 1444 Mikuláš Mnich von Kařez was named as its owner. In 1454 the city of Louny had to surrender the village because their ownership claims had no basis. In 1459 Brzwany was added to the Hněvín lordship. The Krabitz von Weitmühl joined the village , which was given to them as a pledge by the Bohemian Crown , to the Postelberg rule in 1514 . On June 10, 1535 Ferdinand I gave Sebastian Krabitz zu Weitmühl the villages of Wischkowa , Brzwany and Leneschitz . From the spelling webrzwanech ( in Brzwany ) used in 1543 , the German form of the name Weberschan developed , which has been used as a place name since the 1670s. During the hereditary trial between Sebastian's son, Johann von Weitmühl, and the sons of Christian von Weitmühl, Benesch and Johann Lorenz, they received the rule of Postelberg in 1559.
After Johann Lorenz von Weitmühl's death, his widow Elisabeth von Zierotin sold the Postelberg estate to Johann the Elder in 1588. Ä. Czernin from and to Chudenitz . Weberschan remained part of Postelberg until the middle of the 19th century. Further owners were from 1614 Stephan Georg von Sternberg , from 1637 Wenzel Michna von Vacínov , from 1669 Georg Ludwig von Sinzendorf and from 1692 the Lords of Schwarzenberg . In the years 1807 to 1808 the swampy Weberschaner pond, on the banks of which the village was located, was drained.
After the abolition of patrimonial Weberschan / Brzvany formed a political municipality in the Postelberg district from 1850 and, after its abolition, in the Saaz district . In 1872 the Prague-Dux Railway put the Brüx-Chlumčany line into operation, which was continued the following year to Prague and in 1885 to Vltava . The Weberschan stop was built 700 m north of the village at the junction of a beet train .

With the double-track expansion of the railway line in 1914, a station was built on the site of the railway stop. In 1924 the Czech name was changed to Břvany . In 1930 the community had 695 inhabitants. After the Munich Agreement , Weberschan was added to the German Reich and belonged to the Saaz district until 1945 .
