Bengtskär lighthouse
Bengtskär lighthouse, Lighthouse and maritime museum in Kimitoön, Finland
The granite and brick lighthouse rises 52 meters above sea level in the northern Baltic Sea, with 252 steps leading to the top.
Construction of the lighthouse, designed by architect Florentin Granholm, was completed in 1906 using materials quarried directly from the island.
The exhibitions on lower floors present the life of lighthouse keeper families and document the events of the 1941 Battle of Bengtskär.
From May to September, visitors can reach the lighthouse by boat from Kasnäs or Rosala, with all trips subject to weather conditions.
Seven hotel rooms accommodate 25 guests who can experience a century-old granite sauna and traditional archipelago cuisine during their stay.
