Furillen, Former industrial peninsula in northeastern Gotland, Sweden.

The 4-square-kilometer peninsula features limestone quarries, pine forests, marshlands, and coastal areas along the Baltic Sea.

German company Possehl established limestone quarries in 1908, operating until the 1970s when the Swedish military converted the site into a restricted compound.

The former limestone factory buildings now function as a minimalist hotel and restaurant complex, managed by photographer Johan Hellström since 2000.

Visitors can reach Furillen through a road connection via a bridge and narrow isthmus from the fishing village of Lergrav.

The northern section contains a 1.3-square-kilometer nature reserve where greylag geese, common shelducks, and northern lapwings nest among treeless meadows.
