The central Visby town house on the Baltic Sea island
of Gotland was built in 1750 on the foundations of a Russian church. The
kitchen lies on the presbytery, and the tomb containing the skeleton — visible
through a glass panel — is in the cellar. The real estate agency’s owner Leif
Bertwig says there is no reason to be afraid as the skeleton “lies in
consecrated soil and rests in peace.”
Bertwig said Wednesday the remains likely belong to a
Russian man who died some 800 years ago. The starting price for the house — all
included — is 4.1 million kronor ($640,000).
