Historic Churches and Ruins

Visby’s UNESCO-listed cityscape is defined by its concentration of medieval religious architecture. This collection features the 13th-century Saint Mary's Cathedral, the only medieval church still in active use, alongside several atmospheric ruins. Highlights include the Franciscan St. Katarina with its soaring arches, the Dominican St. Nicolai known for its acoustics, and the unique dual ruins of Sankt Hans and Sankt Pers. These structures showcase diverse architectural styles, from Byzantine influences at Drottens to the defensive wall-passages of St. Lawrence, reflecting the city’s Hanseatic wealth.
