Boguszyce [bɔɡuˈʂɨt͡sɛ] (German: Lohbusch; until 1937: Bogschütz) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Borów, within Strzelin County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 3 kilometres (2 mi) north of Borów, 15 kilometres (9 mi) north of Strzelin, and 25 kilometres (16 mi) south of the regional capital Wrocław.
