Sankt Hans och Sankt Pers kyrkoruiner, Medieval church ruins in Visby, Sweden.

The remains of two connected medieval churches stand in the center of Visby, featuring stone walls and architectural elements from the 13th century.

The churches of Saint Peter and Saint Hans were built in the 1200s, with Saint Peter's being among the earliest stone churches in Visby.

The ruins mark the transition from Norse paganism to Christianity, as they were constructed on a former pagan sacrificial site.

The ruins remain accessible throughout the year, with information panels on site providing details about their architectural and historical elements.

A cafe operates within the church ruins, offering visitors the rare experience of enjoying refreshments among medieval religious structures.
