Beautiful Castle of San Giorgio, I was struck by how it has been maintained until today it has remained intact and inside they made us a very special restaurant that I will go to try soon. Today it was all booked, but I will gladly return. I also recommend you to visit the village is very nice and characteristic and then you can taste very good typical things of the area. Stop for a Sunday dedicated to historical and artistic discovery and immersed in nature.

Abbiamo celebrato nella location del feudo di San Giorio il nostro matrimonio questo giugno 2022.è un ambiente molto suggestivo ed i nostri ospiti ne sono stati stregati. Consiglio vivamente sia per la particolarità dell ambiente , che per l empatia che si è creata con i gestori che sono stati molto disponibili e gentili nel consigliarci ,ascoltando ed esaudendo i nostri desideri e contribuendo a dare vita ad un ricevimento perfetto .

Very suggestive place. Inside a restaurant open from Wednesday to Sunday. Very kind and helpful staff. I recommend to go up on foot, leaving the car in the town below.

Marvelous. I was there for a wedding and I fell in love with it. The staff were very friendly and the place was impeccably preserved. Congratulations, I will definitely be back.

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.
