The room was very nice, we had view on the garden, the pond and the ducks. The bathroom was very small. The food was very good. We had dinner, that was very good. Great breakfast on Sunday. On Monday however, not so great, only half of what was available on Sunday was not there: no fresh juice, almost no fresh cut fruits, no plain yohurt, 1 type of sandwich, half of the choices of cheese and meat.

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.
