Alskog 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 Alskog District, established on 1 January 2016.[4]

Geography

[edit]

Alskog is situated in the central east part of Gotland.[5] The medieval Alskog Church is located in the socken.[6] As of 2019, Alskog Church belongs to Garde parish, along with the churches in Garde, Etelhem, Lye and Ardre.[7][8]

The three Lau Islets just off the coast are part of Alskog, despite being named after the neighboring Lau socken.[9] On the north part of the Alskog coastline is the sheltered harbor of Svajde fishing village.[10]

History

[edit]

The Gålerum grave field in Alskog has over 200 stone settings, dating from the Bronze Age to the Iron Age. The grave field includes eight stone ships, five cairns and a picture stone. The area is sometimes erroneously referred to as Digerrojr, a cairn in Garde, south of Alskog. [11]
