Es bonito, pero es privado y está descuidadísimo. El entorno es especial y la bajada es bonita con el campo y la roca con la casita, pero.. da mucha pena cómo está mantenido, se le podría sacar mucho partido y que fuera un espacio disfrutable. Una pena. Habíamos leído que era un espacio de águilas y tampoco lo vemos un entorno para eso, pero no somos expertos, así que no sabemos ajjaja. Por cierto, nos han sorprendido mucho estas piezas numeradas que había por todos lados, no sabemos su uso y no conseguimos averiguarlo. Os dejo una foto, si alguien sabe qué son y para qué sirven, informádnos! Saludos!

Magnífico lugar. Muy emblemático. Desde el castillo se divisa toda la meseta. Las vistas son espectaculares. Tiene muchos viñedos alrededor. Es un lugar singular. Se puede alquilar para eventos y para pernoctar. Es una experiencia única. Recomendable visitarlo.

Not much to see. Castle is a private residence.

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.
