Hainewalde Castle

Hainewalde, Germany

The  original Hainewalde water castle, built under rule of the family von Nositz, was located north of the terraces of the new castle. The only remain of the old water castle, which was demolished in 1780, is the gate lodge with his west-side Renaissance-portal. Schloss (New Castle) was constructed in 1750–1753, along with its Baroque gardens, under the rule of the Kanitz-Kyaw family. It was renovated in 1883, the Baroque elements on the outside façade removed and replaced by 'Italian'-style sgraffito.

Beautiful, huge, unfortunately very desolate and damaged castle. Nevertheless, I recommend visiting him! Reconstructions are underway here, but it will be a long time before it is referred to as a pearl among the castles. At present, it can be admired only from the outside, the best approach is down from the river. Temporary tours of part of the interior are perhaps only every first Saturday and Sunday of the month, from 11 to ??? hours, as written on a small, completely inconspicuous sign in the window.

As promised two years ago, we were here to visit again. Last year, due to the pandemic situation, we were unfortunately unable to see the premises from the inside. But last year we were there by bike and marveled at the new spire. Last week we were there again with our children and were able to take part in a guided tour. We were very happy to see the lovely people from two years ago. We think it's really great how much commitment is being worked on maintaining and rebuilding the castle! Not only was there a great tour, on which we discovered many new things, but also delicious cakes. Thanks a lot for this! We can definitely recommend a visit to the castle! We'll be back next year and will leave a donation again. Greetings to all volunteers: inside the castle of our hearts!

It's amazing. You can see how the old kings or knights used to live! Specially the long stairs will give you that majestic feeling.

Schön anzusehen, mehr aber auch nicht. Das Schloss hat eine interessante Geschichte und ist von außen ein schönes Fotomotiv.

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.
