Even though it was closed, it has a very nice structure. Advised!

Matteo Ceruti (6 years ago)
This castle is beautiful, interesting, beautifully immersed in the green, the personnel who are always friendly with customers, here is the ghost The brothers cavalcabo 'with Carlo who was cremona and Eleonora viritelli. Highly recommended.

Domenico Dattola (6 years ago)
The castle is very beautiful but can be visited only from the outside because it is privately owned. There are many legends and beliefs handed down for centuries to this day and which have given everything an ancient manor in an aura of mystery.

Esternamente bello. Chiuso al pubblico.

Giulio Meneghello (6 years ago)
Purtroppo è residenza privata, visto solo l'esterno, perfettamente conservato. Il piccolo borgo con la chiesa sono carini. Si dice sia il meno abitato della provincia di Lodi..

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.
