History and attractions
The first written record of the village dates from 1555.

The village preserves the wooden Church of the Transfiguration of the Blessed St. Nicholas that was built in 1863.
Until 18 July 2020, Bryn belonged to Halych Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast to six. The area of Halych Raion was merged into Ivano-Frankivsk Raion.
