Very beautiful castle located on a mountain, with the Bronner Cave underneath, the climb is very steep but the cave is really worth seeing. Signposted from the end of Buchheim

Beautiful castle, but it is a private house and cannot be entered. But it's a great photo opportunity on the Donauwelle hiking trail.

I don't understand a lot of the entries here...it IS privately owned AND inhabited by TENANTS, why should it be possible to just get in there? Do you let people into your home? It's like in a museum: look, don't touch!

It's impressive how this castle stands on the towering rocks. Great photo opportunity, I would be very interested to see what it looks like from the inside. Unfortunately it is closed as it is privately owned.

Nice castle. Worth a visit. There are many hiking and cycling trails in the area. Worth a visit. However, you cannot visit it.

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.
