Brzeźnica (German: Briesenitz)[1] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Jastrowie, within Złotów County, Greater Poland Voivodeship, in west-central Poland.[2] It lies approximately 9km (06miles) west of Jastrowie, 250NaN0 west of Złotów, and 1160NaN0 north of the regional capital Poznań.
The territory became a part of the emerging Polish state under its first historic ruler Mieszko I in the 10th century. Brzeźnica was a royal village of the Kingdom of Poland, administratively located in the Wałcz County in the Poznań Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province.[3] It was annexed by Prussia in the First Partition of Poland in 1772, and from 1871 to 1945 it was also part of Germany.
