Beautiful and very well maintained park. What can we say about the welcome on a “Heritage Days” weekend? Although announced, no possibility of visiting anything in the castle...apart from the winter garden (that is to say go into this room to pay 6€ for the free visit of the park: the same price as the rest of the year "minimum" welcome from the chatelaine.

The parc is great and well preserved! The view is beautiful. A very nice place to go if you like nature and want to relax.

Superb castle nestled in lush greenery. Discovering the wooded and flowery park is ideal for relaxing. Allow 1h30 for the visit to enjoy all the little architectural and landscape surprises of this site. We were very kindly received.

Very nice place with a very nice park entrance 5 € to enjoy a 2 hour walk with a plan, part of the French garden and the rest rather in English Two ponds, one with very big fish and lots of pretty things to do.

Visit 2 people including 1 blind person. The unfriendly hostess refuses to apply 1 reduction. But only give 1 flyer! We discover that the castle cannot be visited. The park, rather 1 meadow and at the end of the forest. All the surrounding villages are flowery, the park practically nothing. Large trees have no name signs. We have better things to do in the area for more pleasant and free walks

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.
