Børkov Watermill is a fully-functioning timber framed watermill, dating back to the sixteenth century, located at a small stream in the southeastern part of the town.^[3]

By exploring the area around the watermill it is possible to find one of the wooden trolls, called "Ene Øjesten", made by the artist Thomas Dambo.^[4]

Børkop Højskole, a danish folk high school and a part of Indre Mission in Denmark, is located just north of the railway station.^[5]
