Celebrated our wedding here. Unfortunately poor communication. Event manager was not professional. Planning was wrong. Economical with pouring. The TV in the honeymoon suite was broken. There was glass on the floor there. Lights were broken. Fitted sheets had holes in them. Staff made a lot of noise in the night.

In this way I would almost forget what is right in front of me! That just goes from Hot to her across the country! And now look! De Beesde Castle / Huize Cammingha. Secretly hidden behind the Estate in Bunnik. A combination of a residential tower, (Kasteel de Beesde), and a later built country house. Cammingha House. Beautifully restored! Silent and calm. Definitely worth a visit. Also used as a wedding location, parties, conferences, end!

Beautiful, spacious place with lots of greenery, a small castle, large party room and various terraces. It's just a pity that the location manager did not follow up on all the agreements the bridal couple had asked for in order to be properly taken care of

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.
