Dalhem (also referred to as Dalhem and Hallvide), 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 Dalhem District, established on 1 January 2016.[4]
Geography
[edit | edit source]Dalhem is the name of the socken as well as the district. It is also the name of the small village surrounding the medieval Dalhem Church,[5] sometimes referred to as Dalhem kyrkby. It is situated in central Gotland.[6] The area is rural with farms, tourism and equestrian facilities as the main sources of income.[7][8]
As of 2019[update], Dalhem Church belongs to Dalhem parish in Romaklosters pastorat, along with the churches in Ganthem, Hörsne and Ekeby.[9][10]
The Dunbodi General Store Museum in Dalhem, is a shop from the early 1900s, preserved as a museum.[11]
Railway
[edit | edit source]The narrow-gauge railway on Gotland was decommissioned in the beginning of the 1960s. However, short parts of the railway tracks are still preserved. The most well-kept of these is the railway at Dalhem. Built in 1900–1902, it was originally 33 km (21 mi),[12] with the latest restoration finished in 2015, the preserved part is 6.6 km (4.1 mi). The railway is maintained by the Gotland Train Association.[13]
