Historical monument at the foot of the Ciron at the Trave bridge

Very beautiful place overlooking the Ciron. When the sun is out, the shine of the stones shimmers around the wildlife. It lacks the historical documentation of the place, it is a pity. Explanatory panels would be welcome. Parking nearby. Possibility of getting to the edge of Ciron by stairs, holding hands with young children. Accessible to everyone.

For lovers of old stones, a peaceful place on the edge of the Ciron.

Magnificent romantic ruins. This place dear to Léo Drouyn has lost none of its beauty, and is located in a relatively peaceful setting with a pretty view.

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.
