==History== thumb|left|Church of Saints Adalbert and Stanislaus 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. A synod of the Unity of the Brethren was held in the town in 1651.
