History and Places of Remembrance

The first surviving mention of Brnířov dates from 1508 and is connected with the sale of Rýzmberk Castle. The village square also offers a specific historical connection: the Chapel of St. Martin, dating from 1854, stands there. In the middle of the village square there is also Švehlova zahrádka, a small park.

Another historical detail is the Švehlův památník memorial. It was excavated and restored on June 30, 1994, by members of the municipal administration and other residents. The memorial bears the original inscription “Švehlově památce 1935”. Thus, Brnířov brings together architectural history, a public square and a restored memorial.
