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.

The twin churches of St. Peter and St. Hans are dedicated to St. Peter and St. John. St. Peter is said to have been the first Christian church on Gotland. Both churches were built around 1200.

The ruins of St. Hans Church are among the church ruins in Visby, Gotland. Originally built together with St. Peter's Church as a parish church for the townspeople, it fell into disrepair during the Reformation.

St. Peter's Church was the first Christian church on Gotland and was connected to St. Hans Church only by the southern wall. St. Peter's Church in Visby, Gotland, was dedicated to Peter the Evangelist, while St. Hans Church was dedicated to John. Both churches were built in Visby in 1200 and marked the beginning of many other churches on Gotland. 🏛...
