Nice little church with a well-kept cemetery. Elaborately restored paintings.

It was again a great experience, beautiful and interesting and intimate church, but it's hard that time has passed and the graves were blurred, it stung a little, but time passes

Vesterö Church is a beautiful and peaceful place. It costs money to enter the church so it is important to have cash with you because you cannot pay by phone unless it is a Danish phone number.

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.
