Medieval Christmas with Medeltidsveckan on Gotland

As December darkness settles over the ruins of S:t Nicolai, history comes to life. During Medieval Christmas, you can wander through an atmospheric market where warming fires are lit, music fills the vaulted spaces, and the scents of Christmas mingle with the sound of laughter from young and old alike. Here, traditional crafts and period music meet in a unique setting where you can discover everything from nålbinding mittens to fairy tales, enjoy concerts on winter evenings, and sample food and drink that warm you to the heart. A historical atmosphere in the glow of torches—and, if the weather gods are kind, crunching snow beneath your shoes. Medieval Christmas opens with an atmospheric torchlight procession departing from Österport on 4 December at 16:30. We’ll then walk together down through Visby’s alleys to the ruins of S:t Nicolai. Medieval Christmas is an atmospheric experience for the whole family: a journey back in time, filled with togetherness, magic, and Christmas spirit. Welcome to spend 4–6 December with us in the Middle Ages! S:t Nicolai Ruin, Smedjegatan 19, 621 55 Visby. Read more at medeltidajul.se
