Beautiful castle, very well maintained, at least from what I could see from the outside.

We were invited to a private party here and were very impressed by the ambience and hospitality. It is surprising that parts of the property are available to the public and guided tours are also offered. We'll catch up!

An incredible place with a magical atmosphere❣️ You can see that the gardener cares for the garden with great love! We happened to drive past this castle, it was getting dark and it felt a bit strange to enter, like we were invading privacy, but the place was so tempting that we went in and walked for a bit. Nobody noticed us or made a comment. I would like to discover such special, magical places more often. Thank you very much?

A family that lives in the castle wants to prevent over 120 urgently needed apartments from being built? One would think we still live in the aristocracy, where some people are more important than others. Until it is certain that the castle will be destroyed by the planned project (there are recognized, independent reports for the destruction), this should be examined with an open mind. This is not how good cooperation works if apartments, wind farms, etc. are urgently needed everywhere, but no one wants to have it on site. A pity...

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.
