Hall 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 Hall District, established on 1 January 2016. [4]
Hall is situated on the north coast of Gotland. [5] The medieval Hall Church is located in the socken. [6] On the coast is also Hallshuk, sometimes called Hall, fishing village with the Hallshuk Chapel, built by Queen Christina in 1645, to be used by the fishermen working in the area. [7] As of 2019 [update], Hall Church and Hallshuk Chapel belongs to Forsa parish in Norra Gotlands pastorat, along with the churches in Lärbro, Hellvi and Hangvar. [8] [9]
Along the northwest and north coast of Hall is the Hall-Hangvar nature reserve. The reserve is the largest on Gotland, covering an area of 28 km2 (11 sq mi). [10] The reserve was established in 1967 and expanded in 1999. [11]
