Næsbyholm Castle

Glumsø, Denmark

Næsbyholm is first mentioned in 1388. The original creator of Naesbyholm, however, was Sten Brahe who built a magnificent rennaissance castle in 1585. This burnt down, unfortunately, in 1932. A new main building was erected, but this was partially destroyed by fire in 1947. The present building was built in the style of the original. Today Næsbyholm provides wedding and event services.

Næsbyholm castle is the most beautiful castle in Denmark!!! The surroundings, the garden and nature sets the perfect setting for a fairytale wedding. The rooms are incredible and everything is kept like a true castle fairytale. We had a dream wedding with food and drinks from the amazing Copenhagen Gourmet and Copenhagen Cocktail Academy. Stine Nygaard and Mia Kjær Herskind helped us make our dreams come true! They were an amazing team and we can’t thank them enough!! Their expertise and professionalism is unbelievable!

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.
