A beautiful place, definitely worth a visit. The coffered ceiling is full of ancient symbols. There are benches on the church island, it is landscaped, it is pleasant to contemplate and think about the things of life. Unfortunately, the crossing bridge is very rotten in some places, people with heavier weight and jumping children should be careful!

Very nice! Clean, tidy environment, this is what this iconic monument deserves! The coffered ceiling is amazing. And I say this not because my dear son has confirmed here, but without the pastors, this place would not be what it is. It was good to come back here!

Very nice church! We were there at 11 a.m. on Sunday and it was just worship! The pastor greeted me kindly and the congregation was direct. The living history, colors and shapes are beautiful!

Beautiful church in wonderful surroundings. The immediate surroundings of the church are being renovated, so the construction is deteriorating on the outside ... I remembered from the previous pictures the larger surrounding water surface, in addition to less water, the aquatic plants also give the building a different character from the outside, but it is still beautiful ...

Bengtskär Lighthouse

Towering 52 meters above the sea, Bengtskär lighthouse is the tallest one in Scandinavia. The building started in in 1905 after the shipwreck of S/S Helsingfors and was completed in 1906. The lighthouse was designed by architect Florentin Granholm. On December a special petrol lantern, designed and built in Paris, was brought to Bengtskär and installed atop the tower.

German fleet bombarded Bengstkär in the First World War in 1914. Since the Gulf of Finland was heavily mined, it was not until 1919 that the surrounding seas were declared safe for shipping, that the light was lit again.

After the war the military value of Bengtskär increased as part of the defence system of independent Finland. In Second World War (1941) Soviet Union made a suprise attack to island. After a bloody battle, the small Finnish garrison emerged victorious. Intermittent repairs to the facility continued during the post-war period.
