Absolutely sublime estate! Everything is very well thought out and practical as a reception venue! The work carried out is really successful, especially on the farm house for accommodation! Thanks to Thomas for all the management! I recommend this place with my eyes closed!

The area as a whole is magnificent. The reception room offers a large reception capacity with several possible configurations according to everyone's wishes. The surrounding park also allows all guests to enjoy the outdoors, and includes a large courtyard to compensate for the uncertainties of the Norman weather. A magnificent gîte can also be rented from the same owners (up to 14 beds), close to the reception room. In summary, this estate was a perfect setting for our wedding. Last but not least, the venue manager, Thomas, who supported us perfectly in organizing the reception, providing us with lots of advice. THANKS !

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.
