One of the special sights of the city is the Visby Cathedral from the 13th century

One of the most notable landmarks in all of Gotland is the Cathedral of the Blessed Virgin Mary, or S:ta Maria domkyrk, in the town of Visby.
It was founded around 1100 by German merchants and consecrated in 1225 by the Bishop of Lunchopping. It was a parish church for Germans who lived permanently in Visby (in the mid-13th century, Germans made up about half of the town's population).

The cathedral is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Approximately 300,000 people visit the church annually.
The church's organ is still in use despite its 400-year-old age.
In the center of the church, above the central altar, stands a 13th-century oak statue of Christ.

The cathedral is the only remaining medieval main church of the old Hanseatic city of Visby on the Swedish island of Gotland.
The oldest object on display is the limestone baptismal font from the 12th century.
There are also six organs in the church.
The last major renovation took place between 1979 and 1985.
