THE MEDIEVAL CHURCHESDuring a period of 250 years amazingly many churches were built on Gotland. Today you will find 92 churches on the island, all built during the Middle age.
In Visby monks from the ordens of Franciscans, the Dominicans and the Jesuits built their own monasteries and churches.
Of the 17 churches which were built in Visby, 13 have become ruins and the only intact is Saint Mary, today the cathedral of Visby, built as the German parish church in 1225. The cathedral is worth paying a visit while you are on Gotland!
