Burmeisterska huset, 17th century merchant house in Visby, Sweden
The wooden building features a projecting upper floor, half-timbered gables, and an architectural style characteristic of Northern Germany and Denmark construction methods.
Hans Burmeister, a merchant from Lübeck, constructed this residence between 1652 and 1654, maintaining it as a family property for 200 years until 1851.
The interior walls display pastoral landscape paintings by Johan Bartsch, a notable 17th-century Gotland artist who decorated both ground floor and upper hall spaces.
The structure served multiple functions over time, including as a tourist bureau, museum, souvenir shop, and restaurant operated by Gotland's Tourist Association from 1906 to 1993.
Located between Strandgatan and Donners platz, the building represents Sweden's most complete example of a 17th-century merchant residence.
