history

The village is mentioned on March 24, 1333 as Byrnicze in the founding deed of the village. The name goes back to the term brén , which means muddy, loamy river. The deed describes the donation of the abandoned village by the order in Czarnowanz to the Wencel and Stanko Cira brothers. It is therefore assumed that the place was inhabited earlier, although no writings from that time have survived. It is believed that the residents of the village were killed by epidemics or attacks by the Mongols. In the Middle Ages, a castle is said to have stood in the old town center. It is also assumed that a knight from Brinnitz fought under the Wielun flag during the Battle of Tannenberg in 1410 . In the following centuries the village was mentioned several times under different names, including 1564 as Brynnicza and 1686 as Bernica .
