One of the best castles in Germany, with an impressive history. Great organzation behind is constantly maintaining the castle with so much love and dedication. It's really a pleasure to discover the castle through their eyes on a tour. So absolutely worth a trip whenever you're around this area. You can wander along the beautiful castle gardens and enjoy their delicious coffee & cake - tastes like at home with grandma- in their Schlosscafé. You can discover some interesting facts also inside the castle. If you're lucky enough there might be a concert to join as well.

Beautiful old castle in need of some renovation. The guided tour was really informative and the renovations that have been completed look great. The cafe was open when I visited and the staff there were very friendly and my cappuccino was really nice.

Beautiful castle, consisting of the Old Part and the New House. It's truly 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.
