Beautiful place.

Well preserved and easily accessible. Unfortunately, a very small portion remains compared to the original

Few remains of the castle in a small square. Free and outdoor access. It could be treated better instead weeds grow on the complex and cars are parked a few meters from the walls. But if you are already in the area it is worth taking the steps to see it.

Nice, there is a fountain with fresh water.

Unfortunately only one side of the castle remains ... but they use it 6x theatrical performances ...

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.
