Wonderful rebuilt château with beautiful views all round. The Aubusson Tapestries are a must see. These include one of the marriage of Paris with Helen in Troy, and another of Odysseus with Circe! There are carefully furnished rooms, the kitchen, library, the attic are definitely worth visiting. The garden is nicely landscaped in front and at the back. Looking forward to visit again!

It is situated on the top of a very high hill. 1st gear all the way for 1kms. Chateau is nice but bare of much interest inside. 30 minutes to get a good tour. 46 minutes everything.

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.
