Stenkumla 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 Stenkumla District, established on 1 January 2016. [4]
Stenkumla is the name of the socken as well as the district. It is also the name of the small village surrounding the medieval Stenkumla Church, [5] sometimes referred to as Stenkumla kyrkby. It is situated in the central east part of Gotland. [6]
As of 2019 [update], Stenkumla Church belongs to Stenkumla parish, along with the churches in Träkumla, Västerhejde and Vibble. [7] [8]
One of the asteroids in the asteroid belt, 10553 Stenkumla, is named after this place. [9]
The last public execution in Sweden took place at Stenkumla Backe by Stenkumla Church on 18 May 1876. Konrad Petterson Lundqvist Tector, a robber and murderer was beheaded. He was buried in the church cemetery where his grave can still be seen. [10] [11] [12]
