Berezna is located on the banks of the Krasilovka River, a right tributary of the Desna.

History

[edit]

Until 18 July 2020, Berezna belonged to Mena Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Chernihiv Oblast to five. The area of Mena Raion was split between Chernihiv and Koriukivka Raions, with Berezna being transferred to Chernihiv Raion.[3][4]

Until 26 January 2024, Berezna was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Berezna became a rural settlement.[5]
