There’s no English explanations under every object which makes the museum boring. I liked it’s location

Its a good museum, however it would be better if there is an English translation for every part of the museum.

Really cool place to visit, first we were just going through but one worker asked us if we wanted an English tour through the museum. It was only 6 euro s for our own tour guide. Of course her English wasn't native but yet it was really interesting to see the history of Ukraine. And in my opinion they display it here really well

Great place Entrance: 50 UAH No detailed arabic neither English information on the items ( just you must use ur imagination) So without a guide ( worthless) , but the old ladies who works there are so polite. روح له و لا تفكرررر Made ukraine more obvious for me ?

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.
