We celebrated our wedding here in the Tenne and the location is just really beautiful. You can use the outside area of ​​the castle and the threshing floor itself is also super inviting and rustic. The Count takes care of the rental and is totally approachable and relaxed and really went out of his way to help us with many little things.

This was the last winery we visited on last year's European road trip. We dropped in at 13:59 on the 8th of August, one minute before opening. When we parked and my wife realized that we were making yet another wine related stop she sighed deeply but it turned out that everyone loved it in some way (if it wasn't for the wine, it was for the beautiful surroundings, calm atmosphere and truly great hospitality). The staff person was thrilled to hear that I had visited them 15 years earlier. My oldest daughter and I were given a quick and efficient tasting and we could purchase the wines we were interested in, including some of the last bottles of the 2016 HADES Muskattrollinger. I regret that I didn't ask for any Urban which I now see in their on-line Weinshop but maybe it wasn't bottled and ready for sale in August last year. I hope to return again and that it doesn't take another 15 years. Hopefully I will be able to get hold of some Urban next time :-)

Small castle and beautiful family-run winery. Very friendly owners and great atmosphere for celebrations. We went on a little bike ride and ended up there.

A castle with a wine shop that is well worth seeing. That's probably why I was allowed to walk freely on the beautifully maintained grounds and admire the small castle from three sides. I was also allowed into the castle courtyard, where the wine shop entrance was. Anyone interested in fine wines should also pay a visit to the castle.

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.
