Tingstäde is a locality on the Swedish island of Gotland. Formerly a socken, on 1 January 2016, it was reconstituted into the administrative area Tingstäde District.[3] It is most noted for its nearby lake Lake Tingstäde, which contains the sunken Bulverket fortification, built, used and abandoned during the 12th century.[4]
