Visby Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

The center of the old Visby is very clearly marked by the history of an old Hanseatic city with once great importance in trade as well as great wealth.
In the center there were once 15 large old (mostly gothic) churches in the Middle Ages. Except for the cathedral, all churches were demolished by the Lübeckers at the beginning of the 16th century as a result of disputes.
Remarkably, the remains of the churches have been preserved over the centuries.

Visby Cathedral (St. Mary's Cathedral)

Highlight • Religious Site

The (German) St. Mary's Church has of course been spared from the devastation of the Lübeck. Today the cathedral is the only one of the once outstanding churches.

Saint Catherine's Church Ruins (Sankta Katarina Kyrkoruin), Visby

Highlight • Historical Site

Whether St. Karin or St. Katarina, it is certainly the most striking church ruins of the city of Visby on Gotland. Together with the associated monastery, the former church was built between 1233 and 1250 by the Franciscans. These themselves had only founded their order here on Gotland in 1210.

Ruins of the St. Peter and St. Hans Churches, Visby

Highlight • Historical Site

St. Peter and St. Hans is one of many church ruins in the city center.
What's special about it:
Chairs and tables have been set up and the whole place is called St. Hans Konditorei.
So you can practically sip your coffee in the church.

Dalman Tower

Highlight • Monument

The Dalmanstor is visually distinct from the other city gates.
The name Dalmanstor goes back to one of the Lieutenant Governors of Gotland, LR Dalman.

Day 12
Hey Visby
on my own 😀 .

Visby is considered one of the best-preserved Hanseatic cities and has therefore been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1995. With its fifty watchtowers, gates, drawbridges, and ramparts, the medieval city appears so defensive, as if it still had to protect its Hanseatic wealth from looters today.

20.8.25 | From Stockholm, we sail almost imperceptibly through the night to Visby, where we dock in the morning. Fortunately, we are the only cruise ship in the new harbor today. The small town would certainly hardly be able to accommodate a second one of our size.
We take our time disembarking.
What's interesting to me is the 3.6 km …

Visby is wonderful. Walking along the old city wall, which is about 3.6 km long, we came across the many church ruins. Only the cathedral is completely preserved. The old town, with its small houses and numerous cafes, invites you to linger. Visby has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985.
