Endre is a populated area, a socken (not to be confused with parish), on the Swedish island of Gotland. [3] It comprises the same area as the administrative Endre District, established on 1 January 2016. [4]
Endre is situated in the central part of Gotland, just east of Visby. [5] The medieval Endre Church is located in the socken. [6] As of 2019 [update], Endre Church belongs to Endre parish in Romaklosters pastorat. [7] [8]
The Ölbäck (litt. "Beer stream") nature reserve is in Endre. The 99 ha (240 acres) reserve was designated a Natura 2000 area in 2004. It is named after the now razed Ölbäck Inn, a tavern located about 2.8 km (1.7 mi) from Visby, where peasants and traders used to stop on their way from market. In the north part of the reserve is a stone cross, erected to commemorate the place where a priest, Mr Jörgen, is said to have been killed by an eagle as he was riding home to Endre in 1336. [9]
