Lankócz, Atak, Vecsernye-puszta, Szenterzsébet, Keresztfai-puszta, Perdócz-major, Garics-puszta, György-major (formerly Koplaló) and Vadaskerti-major are all parts of Berzence.

The village can be reached by car from Nagyatád or Csurgó or by train on the Nagykanizsa-Barcs-Pécs Railway Line.

Berzence was first mentioned between 1332 and 1337 in the annual papal tithe register with its own parish.

It came in the hands of Loránt from the Pécz genus in 1377 whose successors named themselves Lorántfi de Berzence.

Forster and his wife Ilona Csapi made a contract with Orbán Nagylucsei treasurer and Bishop of Győr that Forster's daughter marry the nephew of the bishop, Ferenc and that their wealth goes on the pair after their death.

Hearing of the Fell of Szigetvár in 1566 the guards of the Castle of Berzence fled, therefore the Turks could occupy it without fight.

During the Winter campaign of 1664 the Christian troops of Miklós Zrínyi recaptured the castle.

It had 47 tax payers of which 27 were Croatian-Slovene e. g. Marionics, Patranecz, Blasius, Vranics, Jankovic, Loncsar (Lončar), Marovics, Dolanecz, Sarlakovic, Petracsan, Sobosicsan, Simonsics, Panics, Pokosics, Bregovac, Virovec (Vrhovec), Persics, Kovacsevics (Kovačevič), Sarlacsevics, Jelsics, Koblar (Klobuchar) and Bosnak.

It was already two separate villages: Egyházas-Lankócz and Felrét-Lankócz in 1406 which György Loránfti de Berzence got as royal gift.
