Lovely place to stop for a light lunch or fika. Plenty of parking, on a pretty lake, but we didn't find a toilet. Dog friendly and nice atmosphere and monastery ruins to see.

Lovely cafe by the lake. We stopped for lunch -- a small, but elegant selection of sandwiches of which my family had one each and all were well satisfied. When we left, we found our car wouldn't start. Maria helped us contact someone to help and averted our emergency. She was our guardian angel!

Perfect stop for a fresh sallad or a healthy sandwich or a coffee and cake. Beautiful situated by a lake where it is possible to go for a swim. Gluten-free, sugar-free and dairy free options available. Delicious sallad adapted to suit food allergies.

We ate a vegetarian salad and it was very delicious! Super ingredients like chickpeas, strawberry’s etc. The are is very nice and you can swim in the lake if you want.

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.
