What a beauuuuuuutiful church! It feels like you are just at the right place and in the right moment. The wooden floor feels very cozy and the church smells amazing. The painting is truly gorgeous and I am so glad we could walk in on a Friday night. You feel so welcome thanks to the warm light and I hope to come back some day to hear the impressive organ. Absolutely worth a visit!

Norra Sandsjö Church is a fine white church building with a lovely separate large wooden bell tower. Large airy cemetery with fine old trees that give a pleasant and calm feeling. The interior of the church is special with incredible paintings on the ceiling and walls. In addition, impressive furnishings and decorations. There is a disabled toilet in the church building.

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.
