Birze

The now Lithuanian town of Biršės is described in a comprehensive text. The history of the place is outlined, including the granting of the Magdeburg Law by Christopher I, followed by the privilege granted by Sigismund III in 1589. The text goes on to describe the present condition of the town, interspersed with historical references to religious buildings, including the Orthodox church built by Rev. M. Tyszkiewicz and the Catholic cemetery, which contains, among others, the tombstone of Kraolina Radziwiłłowa, née Frąckiewicz (Source: "Ziemia. Tygodnik Krajoznawczy Ilustrowany', Warsaw 1911, no. 52, pp. 16-18, after: Wielkopolska Biblioteka Cyfrowa).
