The dinner in the restaurant was tasty and nicely arranged. The service was beyond disappointing. The rejection was palpable.

Ended up here trying to find a place to eat that was open. Good surprise! Very good food, including nice local options, very reasonable priced and super friendly staff. We enjoyed it and are recommending the goat milk ice cream :-)

Very nice area, friendly service, rarely tasty food. Location is perfect if you have 2-3 days to visit surroundings of national park. The only minus is that there is not a lot to do in the manor itself and rooms are a little bit old. Rooms in the first floor have private terraces which are very nice. I would come back here again.

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.
