The DPSG Eichstätt's peace light sending ceremony is always a moving event.

Lovingly restored monastery complex with church ⛪️ and monastery buildings. There are some schools here within the historic walls. You can see here how old things can be combined with modern ones. You have a wonderful view of the castle from the bus station.

Only seen from afar, once from the historic Rebdorf footbridge and once from the top of the Rebdorfer Schulweg

Super restored Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Missionaries. The buildings now house two diocesan high school students, which is why the new buildings are also there.

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.
