Havdhem (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈhâvdhɛm])[3] is a locality situated on the Swedish island of Gotland with 300 inhabitants in 2014.[1]
Havdhem is also the name of the larger populated area, socken (not to be confused with parish).[4] It comprises the same area as the administrative Havdhem District, established on 1 January 2016.[5]
Geography
[edit | edit source]Havdhem is the name of the locality surrounding the medieval Havdhem Church,[6] sometimes referred to as Havdhem kyrkby. It is also the name of the socken as well as the district. Havdhem is situated in the central south part of Gotland.[7]
As of 2019[update], Havdhem Church belongs to Havdhem parish in Sudrets pastorat, along with the churches in Näs, Grötlingbo, Eke, Hablingbo and Silte.[8][9]
History
[edit | edit source]In 1961, Havdhem Municipality initiated a relief work project at Havor hillfort in Hablingbo that lead to the discovery of the Havor Hoard.[10][11]
Events
[edit | edit source]The annual Havdhem Market is one of the major autumn markets on Gotland. There are five official markets held on the island in August–October: Slite, Havdhem, Kräklingbo, Klintehamn and Hemse, each usually spanning a weekend.[12][13]
