Geography
Östergarn is situated on a peninsula on the central part of eastern Gotland. The area has several low plateaus, the two major ones are Grogarnsberget and Östergarnsberget. The medieval Östergarn Church is located in the socken. As of 2019[update], Östergarn Church belongs to Östergarn parish in Romaklosters pastorat, along with the churches in Gammelgarn, Kräklingbo, Anga and Ala.
The harbor village Katthammarsvik is on the north coast of Östergarn and the Herrvik fishing village is on the eastern tip of the peninsula. About 4 km (2.5 mi) northeast of Herrvik is the Östergarnsholm island with its two lighthouses. The island is about 200 ha (490 acres). Along the southern coast is the Sandviken Natura 2000 nature reserve with its long, sandy beach.
One of the asteroids in the asteroid belt, 10815 Östergarn, is named after this place.
