Michał Jan Borch (1753-1811) was a dignitary of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, an amateur scientist in mineralogy and geology, a poet and a dramatist, as well as an art lover and an art patron.

Borch described his residence in literary work titled Jardin sentimental du château de Warkland, dans La Comté de Borch, en Russie-Blanche, printed in Warsaw in 1795.
