Östergarn (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈœ̂sːtɛrˌɡɑːɳ])[3] is a populated area, a socken (not to be confused with parish), on the Swedish island of Gotland.[4] It comprises the same area as the administrative Östergarn District, established on 1 January 2016.[5]

Geography[edit]

Östergarn is situated on a peninsula on the central part of eastern Gotland. The area has several low plateaus, the two major ones are Grogarnsberget and Östergarnsberget.[6][7] The medieval Östergarn Church is located in the socken.[8] As of 2019, Östergarn Church belongs to Östergarn parish in Romaklosters pastorat, along with the churches in Gammelgarn, Kräklingbo, Anga and Ala.[9][10]

The harbor village Katthammarsvik is on the north coast of Östergarn and the Herrvik fishing village is on the eastern tip of the peninsula. About 4 km (2.5 mi) northeast of Herrvik is the Östergarnsholm island with its two lighthouses.[11] The island is about 200 ha (490 acres).[6] Along the southern coast is the Sandviken Natura 2000 nature reserve with its long, sandy beach.[12][13]

One of the asteroids in the asteroid belt, 10815 Östergarn, is named after this place.[14]
