Small dolmen in a well cared for and easily accessible location but very little parking.

Dolmen in perfect condition, easy access area.

It is clean and well-kept in a semi-enclosed space, to put it mildly, but it would be nice to have a green fence on the side of the road so that the houses and the marquee do not appear in the photos.

Beautiful with tables for 7 picnics, ideal to come with children

It is at the foot of the road,... there is no place to park, you leave the car where you can or later... access is free...

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.
