Stayed at the wing building. Calm, noiseless. Comfy beds with an extra bed for our girl. Clean and well kept. The castle is very interesting with several genres from 16th to 19th century. Breakfast was very good with stunning views from the second storey. The restaurant was competent, a fixed 3 course menu that was well matched with the recommended wines. Lots of sightseeing to be had in the surrounding countryside. A very enjoyable stay, well recommended.

Hotel itself is nice and pretty. But our experience was not that good. We booked a suit on hotel’s own website but only got a double room. Same amount was changed when we checked out and also a charge for extra bed.

I would gladly give this 6 stars, best hotel experience ever. Food was outstanding, service with that perfect balance of presence and privacy, and the atmosphere... Just wow! It felt like (and probably was) like living in an museum, a total and utterly beautiful stay! Thanks to the staff for making our days there so memorable!

Cannot say enough about how absolutely lovely this place is! Gorgeous rooms, fantastic hosts, delicious food. Wish we'd been able to stay longer, but next time we're in the neighborhood will definitely be back!

Dubbelt så många gäster än va de lovat vid bokning. Inte så bra planering av sällskapen i de olika rummen. Dålig uppmärksamhet vid servering av dricka.

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.
