Contemplative, beautiful morning mass, moving sermon in a wonderful setting. I would like to visit the early mass there more often!

We had the honor of a private tour and were already at Holy Mass at Jaidhof Palace! Heartfelt “God bless you” for the wonderful tour and hospitality. We will be happy to come back!

suggestive environment where you can breathe spirituality....

Beautiful castle to see. Nice to walk around once, but nothing more than that. It was fairly unclear whether it was open and if so where to enter. The garden is a nice walk.

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.
