Perttel Church is a small stone church with a bell tower and a cemetery. The church and cemetery are surrounded by a stone wall. The church hall has bright, beautiful ceiling lighting with chandeliers, some donated. The organ loft has an organ and space for a church choir. The benches are traditional wooden benches. The crowd can accommodate about 350 people to sit on the benches. The altar is also in the middle of a light stone wall. An altarpiece depicting the history of a large religion in the background. The atmosphere in the empty church is a hobby as soon as you enter. Church employees do their work through joy with devotion. Parishioners of all ages visit the church, services, and concerts. People also come from outside the congregation. Everyone is welcome.

There are not many evaluations of church spending in this column. The Ukrainian-themed fair was nicely combined with the world of choice in fresh art and the atmosphere was passionate. Not forgetting the message

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.
