The settlement dates back to
medieval Piast-ruled Poland. It was first mentioned in documents in 1344, and was granted
town rights before 1378. It was a
private town, administratively located in the Sieradz County in the
Sieradz Voivodeship in the
Greater Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland. In the 1640s,
Bishop of Chełm Stanisław Pstrokoński erected the
Baroque Church of Saints Adalbert and Stanislaus, which remains one of the most valuable historic heritage sites of Burzenin. There was also a shelter for the poor and a primary school in Burzenin. In 1941, the Germans carried out mass
expulsions of Poles, who were then deported to
forced labour in nearby counties. ==References==
