Börringe Priory was a medieval Benedictine priory founded in 1150 at Svedala in Scania, Sweden. 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.

Søren Norby, selfstyled as Severin Norbi was a Danish leading naval officer in the fleets of Danish kings Hans I and Christian II. He commandeered the greatest ship of the Danish fleet in naval wars against Sweden and Lübeck. Norby governed various land possessions in Scandinavia, ruling Gotland from 1517 to 1525. His rebellion against Frederick I of Denmark in 1525 was defeated, and he fled Denmark, ending his life in the employ of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor.
