Frohburg Castle, Frohburg, Germany

Frohburg Castle was built in the 12th century in Romanesque style. Today’s castle is the result of centuries of work, mainly from the restoration made in the 16th century. Visitors get a real feel for the castle’s heyday when they step into the two allegorically decorated halls, admire the landscape fresco in the Stone Hall and explore the Picture Hall.

Kurt Feuerriegel founded the Workshop of Saxon Art Pottery in 1910 in Frohburg. The Frohburg Castle Museum features a captivating collection of Feuerriegel ceramics such as faience, terracotta sculptures and structural ceramics.

A visit is well worth it, art ceramics and historical toys are on display where you can discover some things that you once played with yourself. You learn a lot about the history of the owners and the building history of the castle, the function of the individual rooms, marvel at the beautiful paintings on the walls and find yourself in a historical classroom and can look at old fairy tale pictures. You can also get married in the castle, it has a nice atmosphere and also offers great photo opportunities in the adjacent park.

Very nice little museum with lots of toys from bygone times and a great ceramics exhibition. Really worth seeing.

Not much to see, was there because of the Sandman exhibition, but I was pretty disappointed. The castle park, on the other hand, was well worth seeing and good for relaxation

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.
