Saint Catherine in Visby

The remains of Saint Catherine Church feature tall stone pillars and Gothic arches that stand against the Visby skyline at S:ta Katarinagatan 19.

Construction of Saint Catherine Church began in 1233 as a Franciscan monastery and continued until 1391, though portions collapsed during a service in 1540.

The ruins function as a performance venue for theatrical productions and musical concerts, enhancing the cultural offerings of medieval Visby.

Visitors should verify opening hours before arrival as the ruins maintain restricted access when no events are scheduled at the location.

The incomplete structure represents northern European architectural styles with its remaining walls displaying medieval building techniques and stone craftsmanship.
