For the first time in the history of The Local's Property of the Week (or TLPotW to the fans) – we're leaving mainland Sweden. 

And where better to head than to the island of Gotland off the country's east coast?

The property is smack bang in the middle of Visby, the island's main port of call, which is incidentally a medieval viking village.

Imagine the summer holiday rents you could pull in when it's tourist season. 

Anyway, the home is a 6-room spot, with a price tag of 7.8 million kronor ($1.14 million). It was built back in 1896, which incidentally makes it one of the newer buildings in town.

And we don't usually do this, but here are some of the nearby things to do in Gotland while we're on the topic of Sweden's favourite island. 

Or if it's not your style, check out the latest home listings in The Local's Property Section, and find your next home with The Local's Rentals Section.
