Hall is a settlement on the Swedish island of Gotland. Formerly a socken,[3] on 1 January 2016, it was reconstituted into the administrative area Hall District.[4]
Geography
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 the 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]
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).[8] The reserve was established in 1967 and expanded in 1999.[9]
