Marvellous castle with great view around Bad Neumünster!

Taking a walk from the town up till the castle was pleasant! Inside the castle is a restaurant, cafe and you can visit for free just to see the scenery. The view is incredible, you can see both side of Bad Münster and the rocky mountains behind. And there are the vineyards all over on the hillsides.

Nice place. Small but nice rooms. Unfortunately breakfast not good enough...very small choice of food available.

Very scenic castle and village with a cool winding river. Nice to walk, paddle or ride bicycle around.

Cute little castle to walk around with 360° views of the town below. There is a lot of parking and a resturant on site as well.

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.
