Sorry we are closed. Despite google claiming it to be open, it was closed, obviously already for some time. The main building is in good shape from the outside, however a construction site around it.

Very nice castle. Attention to detail. Beautiful interior decor. The modern that approaches the historian with such good taste. The garden is beautiful. SPA under construction. Very courteous staff. Recommended.

Splendid structure for events or just to spend a couple of hours immersed in peace. In the historic residence there is the resort, the cafeteria, the restaurant, the wine shop and shops selling organic products. The bar is recommended for breakfasts, lunch breaks or aperitifs. The wine shop is full of wines from all over Italy, the menu includes platters of local cured meats and cheeses. Advised!

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.
