Bengtskär’s Lighthouse

TIME : 2016/2/18 18:38:03

Towering 52m above the waves 25km offshore from Hanko, the Nordic countries' tallest lighthouse was built in 1906 to protect ships from the perilous archipelago waters. It was damaged extensively during the Continuation War by the departing Red Army, but has been refurbished. There are historical exhibits and simple but panoramic guest rooms (single/double/family €120/188/280).

Day cruises leave from Hanko and Kimito island in summer, or you can charter boats from Surfclub Hanko .
