## History[edit]

In historical records, the village was surely mentioned in 1435 (Brezow, Bryzow), but the existence of the village in the area is recorded from 1334 as belonging to Zách, Bosnyák and Szentiványi families. In 1834 János György Zahn [hu; sk] (Slovak: Ján Juraj Zahn) based a glasswork in Zlatno settlement. Before the establishment of independent Czechoslovakia in 1918, České Brezovo was part of Nógrád County within the Kingdom of Hungary. From 1939 to 1945, it was part of the Slovak Republic.
