Abstract: The transformation of magnetic structure under hydrostatic and quasi-hydrostatic pressures up to 4 GPa was studied for iron borate FeBO$_3$ by the neutron diffraction method. Under quasi-hydrostatic conditions, the orientation of iron magnetic moments changes at pressures $P\geq1.4\,$ GPa. Under hydrostatic conditions, no changes in the magnetic structure of iron borate were observed up to 2.1 GPa. This behavior is caused by the influence of the inhomogeneity (in magnitude and direction) of elastic stresses on the configuration of magnetic sublattices.
