    The first mention of Borcz comes from 1403. It was recorded that the Kartuzy monastery owned 8 włókas of Chełmno lands in the village.
    There were long disputes over this land until 1701, when the owner of Borcz, including the Kartuzy land, was the Chełmno castellan, Jan Jerzy Przebendowski.
    After his death in 1729, the estate was inherited by his daughter Dorothea Henrietta Przebendowska-Bielińska.
    In 1748, her son, Piotr Jerzy Przebendowski, received the entire estate - the voivode of Malbork and the starosta of Puck.
    The next owners - from 1765 - became the Grabowski family - first the Elbląg castellan Johan Michael, then Ignacy, and in 1783 Adam Goetzndorf - Grabowski, who in 1787 sold the estate to Georg Marcus Helsenstein.
    At the beginning of the 19th century, as a result of the Napoleonic Wars, there was a regression in the development of both the village and the manor estate. Much of the Borcz area was left in ruins. Despite extensive damage, the estate with the manor building and the farm part has been preserved. A new road from Żuków to Kościerzyna was then built through the deserted areas.
    In 1891, the estate with an area of over 1,800 hectares was purchased by Friedrich Hoene. He decided to renovate the manor house, create a park and plant several trees and shrubs. A house was also built for Oskar Arke, who became the manager. In 1897, a distillery was built.
    After Friedrich died in 1903, his son Georg Hoene inherited the entire estate. Unfortunately, during a fire in 1911, the manor burned down completely. However, its reconstruction began quickly, this time locating it further north.
    In 1920, the Borcz estate, which then covered an area of 1,823 ha, of which 1,091 ha were forests, 132 ha of pastures, 70 ha of meadows, and 509 ha of arable land, was handed over to Georg's son - Albert Hoene. The farm bred cattle, sheep and Yorkshire pigs. No major changes in property were observed during World War II.
    In 1944, the owners decided to leave Borcz and emigrate to Germany. A year later, the Borcz estate begins to belong to the Kartuskie Przedsiębiorstwo Gospodarki Rolnej and its fate is very different.
    In 1999, it was purchased by Krzysztof Mielewczyk and under his care it returns to its former glory. The new owner is renovating the manor and park complex and restoring historic buildings, thanks to which Borcz is once again experiencing its glory days.
    The current owner is Browar 3 City SP. Z O.O. LIMITED LIMITED. The interior has been improved to include a craft brewery, which adds greater splendor and innovation.
