Very beautiful castle, you can't visit it from the inside, but it's very nice to look at from the outside when combined with a walk

Beautifully located - although not visible from the road. Surrounded by a park and a pond. Amazing village buildings under the castle. The castle itself is charming. However, it is inhabited, I have the impression that "ordinary people" cannot visit it.

Very nicely maintained castle. Unfortunately you cannot visit it as it is privately inhabited. So all that remains is the pretty view from the outside.

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.
