It was bequeathed in 1928 to the Institut de France by its last owner, Joseph-Georges Astor.

A pretty mansion to visit from the outside. Despite some difficulties in maintaining some exteriors, we feel a real desire to do well. It is very nice to walk around and look at their vegetable garden. Interior not visited

Very nice visit with a very efficient art history student guide on the history of this mansion and on the different details of everything that furnishes this mansion. Along the way, the mansion houses the kitchen which was used as a filming location for the Tipiak advertisement. The garden is also very pretty, it is an English garden with a vegetable patch. An outbuilding houses an exhibition area where we were able to meet a local painter with paintings typical of the region and landscapes that we encountered during our stay.

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.
