Endre 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 Endre District, established on 1January 2016.[4]
Endre is situated in the central part of Gotland, just east of Visby.[5] The medieval Endre Church is located in the socken.[6], Endre Church belongs to Endre parish in Romaklosters pastorat.[7] [8]
The Ölbäck (litt. "Beer stream") nature reserve is in Endre. The 99ha reserve was designated a Natura 2000 area in 2004. It is named after the now razed Ölbäck Inn, a tavern located about 2.8km (01.7miles) from Visby, where peasants and traders used to stop on their way from market. In the north part of the reserve is a stone cross, erected to commemorate the place where a priest, Mr Jörgen, is said to have been killed by an eagle as he was riding home to Endre in 1336.[9]
