Actually only wanted to turn around in the parking lot because someone has already complained that it was a private parking lot. There are hobbies. Then please also mark it. I looked again and there was a tiny label on the edge. After all, didn't want to turn around in front of the castle. Would have been more appropriate. For those interested in the castle: Looked closed. So better inform in advance.

You can only see it from the outside, it's privately owned

Nice castle. Unfortunately privately owned. Rude host. Wanted to park with our car and dog in the gravel parking lot behind to go for a walk and were unfriendly sent away. If it's private (we had overlooked the sign, who also thinks that a castle belongs to a private person), that's not a problem in itself, but you can also express your concerns in a friendly manner.

Looks interesting from outside, but it is privately owned so you will not be able to see the inside.

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.
