Superior place. Finally a place that respects itself AND its customers. Best value for money I had in a long time. Totally recommended.

We could have wept when we departed this beautiful home. We stayed in the Perse bedroom suite which was perfection with fabric walls, the most comfortable bed and a generous bath. The gardens are astonishing, the swimming pool was heaven. It was so peaceful. Bird song lulled me to sleep on the sun lounger. Victor and Tio, sons of the owners where so very charming. So kind, so helpful, so exceptional. The breakfast (made and served by the very lovely Marie) included pastries of a standard we have never tasted on our many visits to France. This is an exceptional establishment. Did we mention tea and cake in the orangery when we arrive? You will have missed something extraordinary if you do not visit this place. Cannot recommend more highly. Thank you for allowing us to stay.

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.
