Nice park, ideal place for the barbecue with games for children.

The manor cannot be visited, but its setting, the Kéroual wood, is a very beautiful place to walk, with play facilities for children, its ponds with ducks, moorhens, sometimes herons and cormorants. Orientation-style courses are also possible. The mansion itself is known to be the birthplace of Countess Louise de Kéroual, who became a favorite of England's King Charles II, by whom she had a son who is one of Lady Diana's ancestors.

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.
