Börstorp is a manor house located at Börstorpsviken, a gulf of Sweden's largest lake Vänern. [1]

The estate is known to have existed since the 14th century. Börstorp became a manor in 1625. The main stone building was built by Conrad Falkenberg and completed in 1646. It was later rebuilt in neo-Gothic inspiration in the 1850s by Carl Leuhusen according to the drawings of architect Hjalmar Wijnblad. [2]
