Nice little church, just a shame that two Christmas trees covered the bride and groom, so we couldn't see them during the wedding. Sincerely Birth

There is nothing that beckons like Idestrup in folk clothes, races, ages and all genders. Mosegaarden's children and a single, young and well-groomed man stand in front of the church and wait for today's protagonists to step out with a clear conscience. God has just told them that it may well be that they do not believe in him. But he believes in them. He repeats this just in case, before the children become first young, then adults and later completely impossible. No matter what. The Almighty sits in the sidecar for the rest of his life. No strings attached, as they say abroad.

The church was closed but the cemetery around it was absolutely beautiful.

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.
