4.0Kastelholm Castle(246 reviews) - Very lovely place Speciality Museums
Drive here on a cloudy morning, there is free parking nearby. Luckily I came before it got full. The castle is lovely and the area around it is spectacular, with nice views over the lake. It also has an open-air museum with someone playing a very nice violin. It's a nice place and a nice location, worth a visit.See more..
4.5Museumship Pommern(239 reviews) - I recommend getting to know Speciality Museums
The museumship Pommern is the world’s only 4-masted sailing ship still in its original state. On board you can explore the ship from hold to charthouse. The ship is a part of the Aland Maritime Museum, an exciting museum for children and adults alike. The exhibitions are filled with dramatic stories, fantastic objects and lots of interactivities. The Aland Maritime Museum is open all year round, the museumship Pommern between May and September.See more..
4.0Eckero Post Och Tullhus(61 reviews) - Impressive building Spent 2-3 hours Speciality Museums
The Eckero Post Och Tullhus building is very impressive. It rules the landscape but it's very beautiful. There is changing exhibitions and a small shop indoors. Next to the main building is a side building where is a Kafé Kalesch. There is also some kind of a memorial stone by the waterfront; it has nice carvings.See more..
A place to see for the entire family. Came here with our kids, 5 and 7-year olds, and they liked it so much they didn’t want to leave. They had a treasure hunt and other activities for kids, like a small “fishing pond” and fish market. Interesting collection of stuffed animals and fish, as well as fishing and hunting gear. There’s no cafe in the museum, but one very close by. See more..
4.5Jan Karlsgarden Open Air Museum(17 reviews) - interesting 'Rodfärgskokning' Monday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Spent 1-2 hours Speciality Museums • History Museums
The Jan Karlsgarden Friluftsmuseum next to the Kastelholm Slott is an open air museum giving a good insight into the rural past of the Alands. There are several buildings from the 18th and 19th century to see with sometimes people in traditional costume performing time-honoured crafts. I was especially fascinated watching two ladies at the 'Rodfärgskokning', stirring a long stake in a big pot with boiling red dye. Several of the buildings and barns of this open air museum are painted in that copper-based falun red, so typical of the Swedish and Finnish countryside. The 'Wärdshus' here functions as a self service restaurant, where we had coffee and a quite good Aland's Pannkaka with Sviskonkräm (a prunes compote). What is not missing at this museum is a maypole. From here we went to visit the separate Prison Museum by the entrance.See more..
