Beautiful Liturgy on Sept 4 (old calendar). At least 300 in attendance. Outstanding choir!! I was transported- thanks be to God, who gives all good things!!

Sad to see so many beautiful places under restoration in Zagreb. This church's integrity is being preserved by a large amount of scaffolding both outside and inside. It is however still worth visiting for the beautiful interior murals. Alas they bear testament to the impact of the earthquakes back in 2020. Hopefully this church will be restored to it's full glory with the next two years.

Very nice church full of history, sadly one of the last orthodox ones that are opened.

Quiet and beautiful place. The interior is beautiful and the whole ambience is really relaxing and calm for a person.

One of the most beautiful churches that I visited while in Zagreb. Once you walk through the simple entrance you walk inside the Bible. The walls and ceilings show you all about the life of Jesus and more.

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.
