Brzoza [ˈbʐɔza] (formerly German Birkholz) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Strzelce Krajeńskie, within Strzelce-Drezdenko County, Lubusz Voivodeship, in western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 4 kilometres (2 mi) west of Strzelce Krajeńskie and 22 km (14 mi) north-east of Gorzów Wielkopolski.
The village was first mentioned as a possession of a knight in 1337. It was purchased in 1605 by Ernst von Schöning, the member of a well known Neumark family. The village was passed down, first to field marshal Hans Adam von Schoning, and then his son in 1696. In 1713, constructed a hunting castle and granary on the site.
Before 1945 the area was part of Germany (see Territorial changes of Poland after World War II).
