I really liked this place. The museum isn't that big but it's mostly about the history of Jews in Sweden. You can spend an hour or two there among the exhibits and descriptions.

Small and charming museum in the old synagogue's building. We stumbled upon it on accident and decided to visit & didn't regret it. I wish there was more to see though :)

Small and cozy museum that some days are free of charge, see the Web page. If you as I studied a lot about WWII it might be a bit repetarive but on the good side it has a lot of info about the Swedish involvement and attitude over centurys. Good for both non Swedish speakers and has audio. A place to respect. Giftshop is very small but cute. Prices are not very cheap but not expensive either.

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.
