Just in time for winter, the renovation of the Catholic church and parish rooms in Visby on the island of Gotland in the Diocese of Stockholm has been successfully completed.

The entire building complex of the Catholic Church in Visby was in great need of renovation. For a long time no renovation work had been carried out. Moisture damage and the resulting mould formation, as well as necessary installations of fire protection and safety systems led to extensive renovation work.

The parish in Visby is small, but due to the large number of tourists it is of great importance for the region. The next step will be the energetic renovation of the interior and exterior of the residence for the priests. The renovation was sponsored by the Bonifatiuswerk with EUR 50,000.
