Perfectly maintained and presented, including a small expo of middle age art treasure. Summer Saturdays at noon Organ concerts. All together an impressive visit.

One of the greatest churches in Bavaria! You will be astounded at the architecture and beauty! Internal space that seems to reach to the heavens, a perfect place for reflection and awe. Plenty of nooks and chapels filled to the brim with beautiful religious art. Highly recommended and they can’t miss for Bavaria!

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.
