The Freudenberg castle was one of the largest castles in region. The main castle dates from the first half of the 13th century and consists of a keep with a trapezoid floor plan. The curtain wall was 80m long and 60m wide and protected by a round tower in the southwest corner.
The castle was built by the Lords of Wildenberg. Later it was owned by several families and the imperial Austria. Because of a dispute over the legacy of the last Count of Toggenburg Freudenberg was besieged on May 26, 1437 by troops from Zurich. The castle was taken by the besiegers, plundered and set on fire.
Since 1985 the site has been owned by the municipality of Bad Ragaz and can be visited freely.
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.
