Not as much your average museum, much more locally focussed. The information in English is limited, but I would still recommend if you're interested in Bornholm stories.

Small old style museum that gives a good insight on the history of Bornholm. The collection on the archeological excavations at Sorte Muld (near Svaneke) is exceptional and contains many of the gold “gullgubben” that are found.

A really good museum for a small place. Very extensive collection and the employee kindly explained everything there was to see in detail.

A nice local museum. From ancient up to the Russian occupation. There are a few translation sheets in the rooms- those are very helpful for the non Danish speakers. Sadly the new film about the occupation has no translation.

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.
