There we were, my wife Christa and I, and about 25-30 more people in this, one of the Lutheran churches that #Denmark is rich. Good to see the congregation of Jesus coming together in a village. Singing together, confess the faith, pray and hear God's Word. It was about facing the future fearlessly and without worry, for God our Heavenly Father cares. Beautiful! Then it was the celebration of the Lord's Supper; kneeling as a congregation, receiving bread and wine. Precious in vacation time! Afterwards we talked with the pastor about being church in Denmark and the Netherlands. What a gentle and kind man... We wish this congregation the nearness of our God! And all those who are interested, feel free to enter this House of God to experience His peace, to pray or to experience a church service like us.

Visby Cathedral

Visby Cathedral (also known as St. Mary’s Church) is the only survived medieval church in Visby. It was originally built for German merchants and inaugurated in 1225. Around the year 1350 the church was enlarged and converted into a basilica. The two-storey magazine was also added then above the nave as a warehouse for merchants.

Following the Reformation, the church was transformed into a parish church for the town of Visby. All other churches were abandoned. Shortly after the Reformation, in 1572, Gotland was made into its own Diocese, and the church designated its cathedral.

There is not much left of the original interior. The font is made of local red marble in the 13th century. The pulpit was made in Lübeck in 1684. There are 400 graves under the church floor.
