Beautiful scheduled spot, that seems a very magical spot when you think of the 800 years of history and people that visited the site. Only wish you could do the maze.

Great for a walk if you are in the area.Not really much to look at but something to head for if you fancy a bit of exercise.The plaque there says something about related sites in Italy and France which is kind of the most interesting thing there.There is a new bench and sign which I think has been put up by a local farmer.I think it relates to someone who used to walk there a lot possibly with his dog.

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.
