Boršengrýn Castle (German Borschengrün ) was a castle in western Bohemia , near the villages of Úbočí and Salajna , five kilometers northwest of Lázně Kynžvart .
The castle was built in 1374 by Boresch V von Riesenburg and was named after him. The reason for this new building was the razing of the Kynžvart Castle in 1347, under whose rule Boršengrýn was. Contrary to his previous prohibition, Emperor Charles IV , whose inner advisory group included Boresch, granted permission to fortify the complex and build a city and a judicial district . The castle was completed in 1380, but did not prevail against Kynžvart as the center of the rule and was therefore given to castle captains.
In 1387 Heinrich IX. , Vogt von Plauen from Johann and Albrecht Landgrave von Leuchtenberg , the feudal lords of Kynžvart and Boršengrýn, received the enfeoffment with the goods of his father-in-law Boresch for a price of 13,000 shock groschen. However, the von Riesenburg apparently remained in the possession of the rulers until they sold them to the Eger citizen and Bohemian under-chamberlain Siegmund Hüler in 1391/92. From this it was exchanged in 1395 to Hintze (I.) Pflugk von Rabštejn and only after his death in 1401 to the bailiffs of Plauen . Boršengrýn remained in their possession until the castle was destroyed in 1452 in a feud between the bailiffs and the town of Eger. The castle was not renewed.
The castle consisted of two parts separated by a moat. The southern part consisted of a bailey, the core area was north of the trench. The main building was a residential tower that was surrounded by several servants' houses .
Today only signs of trenches can be found.
