The castle is privately owned and may not be entered

The ruin is no longer accessible. You are also regularly informed that you are on private property, that access is prohibited and that there is a danger to life. Unfortunately, very little can be seen of the ruins. It's a pity, considering that a lot of history was written here.

If you can get a glimpse of it, it's actually quite beautiful. But since the owner leaves everything overgrown and doesn't want you to go near the ruins, it's not worth the trip.

If you fight your way through it's a cool adventure up to the castle. However, nothing is guaranteed and you should do so at your own risk. But you have a quiet spot with history :)

Historic Site of the week

Bomarsund

Bomarsund fortress and garrison was built in 1832-1854 by Russian Empire to defence Åland Islands against enemies. British and French fleet attacked against it during the Crimean War in 1854. After a week of fighting the British stormed the remaining fort. Anglo-French forces destroyed it totally after battle. In the Treaty of Paris 1856, the entire Åland Islands were demilitarized, which is a status that has been preserved until this day.

Nowadays there are some ruins left and fortress area is open for visitors.
