Březina is a municipality and village in Brno-Country District in the South Moravian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 400 inhabitants.
Březina is located about northwest of Brno. It lies on the border between the Boskovice Furrow and Křižanov Highlands. The highest point is at 415m (1,362feet) above sea level. The municipality is situated on the right bank of the Svratka river.
The first written mention of Březina is from 1232 when Přemysl, Margrave of Moravia, donated the village to the Porta coeli Convent.[2]
From 1986 to 1990, the formerly sovereign municipality of Březina was a part of Tišnov. Since 24 November 1990, Březina has been a separate municipality again.[3]
There are no railways or major roads passing through the municipality.
Březina is poor in monuments. The only protected cultural monuments are two stone crosses, dating from 1841 and 1846, and a late Baroque calvary from the second half of the 18th century.[4]
