Bruzovice (German:Brusowitz,Polish:Bruzowice) is a municipality and village inFrýdek-Místek District in theMoravian-Silesian Region of theCzech Republic. It has about 1,000 inhabitants.
The village was named after its founder Oldřich Brus.[2]

The creation of the village was a part of a larger settlement campaign taking place in the late 13th century on the territory of what will be later known asUpper Silesia. The first written mention of Bruzovice is in a Latin document ofDiocese of Wrocław calledLiber fundationis episcopatus Vratislaviensis from 1305 asBruschowitz.[2][3]
Politically the village belonged initially to theDuchy of Teschen and was ruled by a local branch ofPiast dynasty. In 1327 the duchy became afee ofKingdom of Bohemia, which after 1526 became part of theHabsburg monarchy.
The village became a seat of a Catholicparish, mentioned in the register ofPeter's Pence payment from 1447 among 50 parishes of Teschendeaconry asBransowicz.[4]
In 1573 it was sold as one of 16 villages and the town ofFriedeck and formed astate country split from the Duchy of Teschen.[5]
