Visby (English spelling)

Japanese: ビスビュー(英語表記)Visby
Visby (English spelling)
The capital of Gotland County in southeastern Sweden. It is located in the northwest of Gotland Island on the Baltic Sea. It maintained close ties with the Hanseatic League and flourished as a commercial center in Northern Europe from the 10th to 14th centuries, along with Lübeck. Many church ruins and St. Mary's Cathedral, built in 1225 and later restored, testify to its former prosperity. After being occupied by King Valdemar IV of Denmark in 1361, it fell into decline and remained a small city with a population of less than 10,000 until the 20th century. It has an ice-free port and is a bustling commercial port. There are sugar, metal, lumber, and cement factories, but many people visit the city as a tourist destination due to the many historical sites. It was registered as a cultural heritage site of the World Heritage Sites in 1995. Population: 21,253 (estimated 1990).

スウェーデン南東部,ゴトランド県の県都。バルト海上,ゴトランド島北西部に位置する。ハンザ同盟都市と密接な関係を保ち,リューベックなどとともに 10~14世紀の北ヨーロッパ商業の中心地として栄えた。多くの教会遺跡や,1225年に建立され,のち修復された聖マリア大聖堂は往時の繁栄を物語っている。 1361年にデンマーク国王バルデマール4世によって占領されてから凋落し,20世紀にいたるまで人口1万未満の小都市となっていた。不凍港を有し,商業港としてにぎわう。製糖,金属,製材,セメントなどの工場もあるが,歴史的な旧跡が数多くあるため,観光地として訪れる人も多い。 1995年世界遺産の文化遺産に登録。人口2万 1253 (1990推計) 。
