Boreč is a municipality and village in Mladá Boleslav District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 300 inhabitants.
The village of Žebice is an administrative part of Boreč.
The initial name of the village was Bořeč. The name was derived from the personal name Bořek, meaning "Bořek's (court)".[2]
Boreč is located about 13km (08miles) west of Mladá Boleslav and 37km (23miles) northeast of Prague. It lies in an agricultural landscape in the Jizera Table. The stream Košátecký potok flows along the western and southern municipal border.
The first written mention of Boreč is from 1385. Around 1404, the village belonged to Lords of Kováň. In 1505, Boreč was documented as a part of the Košátky estate, which was bought by King Ferdinand I in 1548. In 1615–1694, the entire village belonged to the Bezno estate, then part of the village was annexed to the Velké Všelisy estate. This lasted unti lthe establishment of a sovereign municipality in 1848.[3]
There are no railways or major roads passing through the municipality.
Boreč is poor in monuments. Among the protected cultural monuments are a late Baroque gate from 1835 and a rural homestead from the 1840s.[4]
