Awesome. Although we were only able to visit it from the outside. We will return another time. It dates from the 16th-17th centuries. The cemetery is next door

Striking church at the top of Lierganes. Magnificent construction that defies the vicissitudes of time and emerges imperiously over this atemporal village. Wonderful views on the Pas valley.

I am in front of it and I have been surprised by its beauty and monumentality... the shame is that I have not been able to visit it inside. Although there is a small hill, it is worth visiting.

Beautiful Renaissance style church

We didn't have the opportunity to visit it because it was closed. It has a sober and large building, well restored.

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.
