Börringe Priory (Swedish: Börringekloster), also known as Börringekloster Castle is a medieval Benedictine priory in Svedala in Scania, Sweden. Founded in 1150 when Scania was part of Denmark, the priory was secularized in 1536, the site was developed as a home for the Brahe family. The present large building, known as Börringeklosters slott, was built here in 1763.
