Gotland County

Gotland County occupies Sweden's largest Baltic Sea island, extending across 3,140 square kilometers with Visby functioning as its capital city.

The territory joined Sweden through the Treaty of Brömsebro in 1645, following periods of Danish and Teutonic Knights control during medieval times.

The county maintains 94 medieval churches displaying Romanesque and Gothic architecture, with regional languages Gutnish and Gotlandic reflecting local identity.

Ferry connections from mainland Sweden through Oskarshamn and Nynäshamn ports transport vehicles and passengers to the island throughout the year.

The county contains the world's northernmost commercial vineyard and hosts the Gotland Grand National, the largest enduro race competition globally.
