Magical stay with Anja as caring host. The location is nothing less than fairytale like. The rooms were of very high quality and tastefully restored with respect to the old buildings. The area was fantastic with a feeling of serenity. An experience beyond our expectations. We will definitely come back.

Just excellent. I literally have never felt so cared for and well taken care of as I have staying at Kultur Gut Hasselburg. Brigitte and her crew made me feel like a princess, very special. I would go back in a heartbeat and definitely recommend it to anyone who likes beautiful, comfortable, stylish, cultural, upbeat, and charming get-a-ways.

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.
