Vasica Brunk leži na nadmorski višini 561m in je zadnji greben preden se dolenjska prevesi v dolino Save. Ta točka je bila naseljena že v prazgodovini, kar potrjujejo odkritja gomil v bližnjem gozdu. V srednjem veku je prek Brunka vodila cesta iz dolenjske v Radeče.
Najbolj impresivna in prepoznavna stavba je cerkev svetih Treh kraljev. Cerkev je poznogotska stavba s triladijskim prostorom in velikim prezbiterijem. V celoti je obokana, sodi pa v skupino tako imenovanih gotskih dvoranskih cerkva, ki jih imamo iz tega časa na Slovenskem kar lepo število (Kranj, Škofja Loka, Radovljica, Šentrupert…). Cerkev v svojih spisih opisuje tudi Primož Trubar v času ko je služboval v Loki pri Zidanem mostu. Prav Trubar je bil eden izmed glavnih akterjev, da se 1558 na Brunku ni postavila še tretja cerkev, zapisal pa je takole … “Glih taku ena druga baba je hotela imejti, da bi se bila ta tretja cerkev gori na Bruniki per tih Treh kralih zidala.”
Druga cerkev je bila cerkev Matere božje, katera pa je bila med drugo svetovno vojno bombardirana in zelo poškodovana, danes so ostali le še goli zidovi. Kraj je doživel med vojno tudi svoje najtemnejše dni, ko so Nemci kraj napadli, ljudi pa zaprli v mežnarijo in jo zažgali.

EN: The village of Brunk lies at an altitude of 561m and is the last ridge before the Dolenjska turns into the Sava valley. This point has been inhabited since prehistoric times, as evidenced by the discovery of mounds in a nearby forest. In the Middle Ages, the road from Dolenjska to Radeče led through Brunk.
The most impressive and recognizable building is the Church of the Holy Three Kings, which is also described by Primož Trubar at the time when he served in Loka near Zidani most as a priest.
The second church was the Church of the Mother of God, which was bombed and badly damaged during the Second World War, today only the bare walls remain. The place also experienced its darkest days during the war, when the Germans attacked the village and imprisoned people in the house and set it on fire.
I add testimonies that probably all of us who live nearby have heard as children from our grandparents. "At the time when the route between the Dolenjska and Sava valleys ran across here, bandits lived on Brunk, who often robbed caravans." I don't know if that's true.
Bring your pen! Please return the treasure to its place and be inconspicuous.
