Furillen
A bleak limestone islet where an abandoned quarry has become a design hotel, with sea stacks and industrial ruins side by side.
Furillen lies on Gotland’s northeast coast and is connected to the main island by a causeway. It was once a base for limestone quarrying and processing. Today the desolate gravel beaches, sea stacks and vast industrial ruins make a stark scene, and the old factory has been converted into a stylish boutique hotel and restaurant, a favourite of photographers and design lovers. Parts of the island were once a military restricted zone, but most areas are now open, and you can explore on foot or by bike. It’s about 55 km from Visby, roughly 50 minutes by car.
