Lokrume, is a small settlement in the north part of the island of Gotland, Sweden. The settlement is concentrated around the Lokrume Church with farmed land to the north and forests in the south.[1]
The name Lokrume is from the 14th century name Lokarum and consists of the lok or lauk being the name of a farm, Lauks, and rum meaning "open place". This sums up to "The open place belonging to the Lauks people".[3] Gervid Lauk was a 14th century county judge living in Lokrume, one of the medieval houses belonging to his estate still remains at the Lauks farm.[4]
There are several minor Viking age grave fields and stone ships,[5] as well as larger stones with Iron age grinding grooves.[6] Four silver treasures has been found at Lokrume.[7]
One of the asteroids in the Asteroid belt, 9267 Lokrume, is named after this place.[8]
