The town was a part of the defensive line
History
According to Turkish government resources, Pınarhisar was founded during the reign of Theodosius II, by c. 425, under the name "Brysis" meaning "spring" in Greek. The town's fortress was built during the Byzantine era. In 1190, the town was significantly damaged by Crusader occupation. It was attacked by Tatars in 1264.[3][4]
The town was captured by the Ottomans in 1368, by the forces under the command of Ghazi Mihal, as a part of a campaign led by Murad I.[3]
Christian bishopric
The first mention of the archdiocese of Brysis is in an early 10th-century
During the Fourth Crusade Brysis became a Latin Church archbishopric under the name Verissa (of Thrace).[8]
No longer a residential bishopric, Brysis is today listed by the Catholic Church as a titular see.[9]
