Drottens Kyrkoruin, Visby, Gotland - a photo on Flickriver

            Drotten Church was built in the 13th century and dedicated to the Holy Trinity. It is commonly known as Drotten — an Old Norse word for "ruter" and "God". 

The upper floor of the tower was probably fitted out as a chapel with a quint looking down into the body of the church. The chancel is decorated with dogtooth carvings and an Anglo-Norman zigzag pattern to be found nowhere else in Gotland. 

The name Drotten is not correct, although used extensively. The church was called the Holy Trinity Church.

The church was abandoned at the Reformation in the 16th century. 
________________________________________
S:t Trinitatis, vanligen Drotten eller Trefaldighetskyrkan, är en kyrkobyggnad (ruin) i Visby i Visby stift på Gotland. Ordet drott nämns i Gutalagen, där det omnämns som ägare av en träl, men i andra sammanhang betyder det oftast furste eller kung. Drottens hustru kallades drottning. Det stundom förekommande S:t Drotten är alltså felaktigt.

Kyrkan byggdes omkring år 1240 som församlingskyrka för tyskarna i centralförsamlingen under klinten men är om- och tillbyggd under senare delen av medeltiden. Den övergavs 1528, då borgerskapet började ta ut "ransoner" ur kyrkans inventarier. S:t Trinitatis ribbvalv stod sannolikt modell för korets ribbvalv i Lokrume kyrka.

Vid ruinen står en staty av Christopher Polhem. Strax intill Drotten ligger S:t Lars kyrkoruin.
