A very nice and calming place. Very orderly all around. And these nice hedgerows. Worth a visit.

Very atmospheric with lights around the graves outside the church. It's extra nice when it's dark outside. The church is very beautiful inside with, among other things, a magnificent altarpiece and stately chandeliers, which hang down from the ceiling. The size of the church is just enough to hear what is said during services and masses.

Beautiful stone church in fantastic lakeside surroundings. The church is located along the winding village street with well-preserved houses from different ages. Well worth a visit

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.
