Hogrän (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈhûːɡrɛːn])[2] 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 Hogrän District, established on 1 January 2016.[4]
Hogrän is situated in the central inland of Gotland. The land is mainly flat farmlands mixed with meadows in the east part and forests and mires in the west. Most noted is Prostarve Änge where wild orchids grow.[5][6]
The medieval Hogrän Church is located in the socken.[7] As of 2019[update], Hogrän Church belongs to Vall-Hogrän-Atlingbo parish in Eskelhems pastorat, along with the churches in Vall and Atlingbo.[8][9]
