Visby domkyrka
Visby domkyrka is the only one of Visby's medieval churches still in active use as a place of worship, the rest having fallen to ruin after the town's decline — making it a rare chance to see a complete, functioning example of Gotlandic Gothic church architecture rather than just a ruin. It dates originally to the 13th century, though it's been rebuilt and altered several times since, including after fires.
As the seat of the Diocese of Visby, it remains an active cathedral, and its distinctive three towers are a recognizable part of Visby's skyline.
