Interesting explanation of the castle by the owner. He is very talkative and remembers a huge number of people who had a relation with the castle. He is very passionate and pleasant.

Visit of the castle by its owner who welcomed us very well. He loves his place and tells a thousand anecdotes of his family. Presence of a multitude of objects having belonged to his ancestors. Note that a wing is rented and restored by Chanel for its presentations.

Very beautiful residence, isolated in the middle of the fields !! but which has charm, and the history of the residence is interesting.... Good visit to you now!

Private 17th century chateau. Particular in the sense that this one is designed a bit like a Chartreuse with a central garden. The building is made up of several wings. A part is restored and rented by Chanel for its presentations. Very stylish. The old part of the castle is a set of rooms with a heap of family objects which sometimes clutter the rooms which loses its charm. Some lights are reviewed. But the visit remains very pleasant. Too bad the beautiful garden in front is not accessible every day!! It is independent of the castle.

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.
