Beautiful building, in good condition. "The manor of Eywere (German: Eyefer) was first mentioned in 1552." The main building of the estate in the historical style includes many stages of construction. Some of the building's walls definitely date back to the 18th century, but older structures are also possible. The building was probably expanded and modernized in the 19th century. The main building acquired its current elegant and romantic appearance during reconstruction work at the beginning of the 20th century, completed in 1912. The building contains elements of Art Nouveau, Neoclassical and Neo-Gothic. The facade of the building is decorated with an octagonal corner tower located in the right corner, a neo-Gothic decorative window in the middle and a small polygonal arched structure. The windows of the building have complex stucco frames, characteristic of historicism. The interior has many neoclassical design elements."

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.
