Interesting chateau being renovated by an association. Temporary exhibitions and an escape game enrich the building.

Congratulations also to the former mayor of Luttange, M Hans Raymond, who for 1 symbolic franc bought this castle for the town and started the renovation work.

We entered curious ... and very good surprise, we had a very friendly welcome and the right to visit part of the castle in the company of volunteers, who are renovating the place with a lot of heart!

Amazing! Congratulations to the volunteers who have restored the castle over the years. Thank you for the very interesting guided tour.

Surprising, not to say extravagant, this romantic-looking castle in the heart of the village... The team that is working to restore it deserves all the praise, even if concrete often replaces stone. The exterior of the castle looks good, and the ornamental plants on the facades are a good idea. The interior is more questionable, and the showrooms are rather poorly lit. Well worth a detour...and to be reviewed as the renovations progress.

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.
