My second visit to the historical estate. The cuisine is worth travelling for (1 1/2 hours in my case). Cozy dining rooms offering nostalgic ambience. Excellent.

Very nice place, but if the owner is behind the counter, run away. Very slow, and rude in addition. No sense of service and respect.

Really nice castle my girlfriends sister took us to to have lunch. Nice personnel, nice atmosphere upstairs, with a fireplace, and great food, especially the Fika! I loved the chocolate cake (one of the best) and the lemon pie was great too. And my toast with cantharels was nice too (a bit hard to find the truffel, but didn’t miss it). The entrance is uphill, so maybe a bit hard for elderly people!

Such a classic setting and dogs are welcome. I absolutely loved it.

Weird vibes within the working environment there, something not right. Crazy prices and the coffee is from a machine where you press a button.... Super nice environment though especially in summer

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.
