Borganäs, Medieval castle ruins in Borlänge Municipality, Sweden.
The fortress of Borganäs stands on a hill by the western bank of Dalälven River, near Domnarvsfors waterfall in central Sweden.
Danish bailiff occupied the castle until midsummer day 1434, when Engelbrekt Engelbrektsson and local peasants burned down the structure during their rebellion.
The site represents a period of Swedish resistance against foreign rule, marked by a memorial stone where the fortress once dominated the landscape.
The archaeological site, designated as Borlänge 1:2 in the national monument registry, sits within the modern urban development of Borlänge municipality.
Archaeological investigations conducted in 1985 revealed foundations and artifacts that document the transition from medieval fortification to contemporary urban space.
