Brännkyrka was the site of a Swedish victory over Danish forces in 1518.^[3]

Parts of the church were built in the 12th century. There are notes that there has been four serious fires in the church. It is assumed that the name Brännkyrka ("burnt church") was given after a fire around 1400, since it was named "Vantör" before that time.^[2]

The Brännkyrka basketball team is very popular amongst locals, and their matches at the Brännkyrka gymnasium are always a fun a happy gathering of the community.^[4]
