A very nice, Renaissance church from 1635-44. A very interesting building in terms of architecture.

A beautiful place where you can definitely feel the souls of the Renaissance. The interior is beautiful. I recommend.

Sebastian Limek (2 years ago)
One of the most beautiful examples of the Lublin Renaissance, characterized by e.g. very decorative and distinctive attics, delicate, sandy-white colors, massive buttresses and an interior with stucco-covered vaults. In this church it is all there, and at the same time in the most outstanding form of it.

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.
