This is a great church in northern Lund. It was completed in 1901 on the same site as an old medieval church. Norra Nöbbelöv's church is located where the battle of Lund in 1676 ended and a memorial stone next to the church has been erected to commemorate the battle and the 9,000 who died

A beautiful and quite small church built between 1900-1901 but with interior objects that dates back to 1100 century. It’s surrounded by lush greenery (in the summer) and within walking distance from Nöbbe mosse and close to valkärra kyrka. A historical mass grave with soldiers from the battle of Lund (war between Denmark and Sweden) was found 1995 and is marked out by the side.

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.
