Vänge 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 Vänge District, established on 1 January 2016.^[4]

Geography

Vänge is the name of the socken as well as the district. It is also the name of the small village surrounding the medieval Vänge Church,^[5] sometimes referred to as Vänge kyrkby. Vänge is situated in the central part of Gotland.^[6]

As of 2019^[update], Vänge Church belongs to Vänge parish in Romaklosters pastorat, along with the churches in Buttle, Guldrupe, Sjonhem, Viklau and Halla.^[7]^[8]

One of the asteroids in the asteroid belt, 10794 Vänge, is named after this place.^[9]

History

With the establishing of railways on Gotland in 1878, one of the stations resulted in the settlement Bjärges in Vänge. Other settlements are Bringes and Nickarve.^[10]

With several equestrian establishments, Vänge is horse country. The Western Riders Arena is used for western riding and rodeo events. A number of the members of the Gotland Western Riders also perform as jousting knights in the Tournamentum team at the annual Medieval Week on Gotland and national jousting tournaments.^[11]^[12]^[13]
