Geography
Väskinde is the name of the socken, now district. It is also the name of the larger locality within the district and the small village surrounding the medieval Väskinde Church, sometimes referred to as Väskinde kyrkby. It is located in the northwest part of Gotland.
At Själsö in the south part of the Väskinde coast, is the Brucebo nature reserve and art museum. Formerly the home of artists William Blair Bruce and his wife Carolina Benedicks-Bruce, it is now managed by the Brucebo Foundation. Further north along the coast is the Brissund fishing village and beach.
