What a beautiful place and free of charge. Leaflets about the chateau and the gardens were provided. A little car park was also available. Noone was there when we visited so we had the opportunity to experience the chateau on our own

Had a private dinner here. It is absolutely beautiful. Filled with stories and authentic artifacts. The grounds are large and the peaceful surroundings is a treasure. Thoroughly enjoyed it

I would return at a different time of year. I think there should be a limit on numbers in the house at any one time.

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.
