Very good cake, very nice people and great view, no entrance fee. Close to a small playground. Definitely recommend it

Michael Field (4 years ago)
Not really what one expects of a Burg. More like a Youth Hostel in the middle of a peacefull forest. Hardly anything of a Burg left. More like a viewing platform. .

Very nice place to visit. Parking is 5 min away from it. There is a volley ball field and a rope slide and bbq by the parking. There is a small coffee place in the castle where they sell cake, coffee and beer.

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.
