House of Cramér
House of Cramér, Medieval stone house in Visby, Sweden.
Description
The house of Cramér consists of two connected stone buildings with well-preserved walls that rise to the eaves, located at Visby Novisen 5. The two original structures were merged together while maintaining their medieval form and thick stone construction.
History
These stone buildings date to the 13th century and reflect Visby's growth as a major trading center. Both structures were built during the medieval expansion of the city.
Culture
The house sits in the Novisen quarter and reflects how wealthy merchants and families built their homes in medieval Visby. The thick stone walls and surviving layout tell us much about daily life in a prosperous port town.
Practical
The house sits in central Visby and is easily reached by walking through the historical streets of the district. It is part of a protected heritage complex, so visitors should view it respectfully from the outside.
Did you know?
What makes this house special is that two entirely separate medieval buildings were later joined together as a single residence while keeping their original walls visible from the 1200s. This merger shows how residents in Visby adapted their properties over time.
