Had a very comfortable 2 night stay at the Chateau. Very large, clean rooms with tea making facilities. The Chateau is very beautiful and in a good location with spacious parking. We had dinner for the 1st night of our stay and it was an excellent 5 course tasting menu, all dishes were delicious. Breakfast each morning was a mix of croissants, pain au chocolat, cereals and breads. Hosts were very welcoming, would visit again.

Good measures in place for Covid protection. Had a great room that could not be faulted. Breakfast was only cold choice and basic. This really is a B&B. If you want an evening meal you have to book in advance or you get nothing. 'Booking.com' did make it look like a hotel, in my opinion, which it is not. However, for the cost and the fact we had to book very quickly as Belgium had just been placed on the Red list for quarantine it worked out just fine. Certainly did not compensate for a stay in Bruges but it was what it was and we were thankful we managed to get somewhere at short notice. Worth a stay.

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.
