THE MEDIEVAL HOTEL

HAUNTED

Set in the medieval town of Visby lies a hotel built in the 14th century called, The Medieval Hotel. The oldest grounds of the hotel are located beside the church ruins of the Holy spirit.  The church was oringinally called,The Church of Saint Jacob and was changed in the 17th century. Jacob was the protector of pilgrims. It was on this very site that Bishop Albert of Riga gathered pilgrims and formed the Knights of the Livonian Order, better known as the Brethren of the Sword, founded in 1199.

The present day remaining building was constructed in the 14th century. Our ghost, however, seems to have liked it so much that she has remained. Christina Wipperworde was the former prioresse at the monastery of Solberga, which was of the cistencienser Order. Christina continues to check on guests in the hotel to wish them a good nights sleep. She has been walking these halls since the 80’s……the 1380’s that is.

To experience the prioress for yourself and to enjoy a completely wonderful stay have a look at their website and don’t forget to watch the beautiful film as well. www.medeltidshotellet.se
