== Geography == Torsburgen is situated on, and encompasses the whole of, an eponymous plateau hill in the central east part of Gotland. With steep cliffs in the west, north and east, it rises above the surrounding flat landscape. About 10,300–10,800 years ago it was a low island in the Baltic Ice Lake. The motions of that lake deposited gravel embankments in the southwest part of the plateau. Inside the embankments, now walls, has formed a small mire called Torsburgsmyr.
