Bengtskar Lighthouse, Southwest Finland, Finland
5.0 (60 reviews) Spent Ranking #1 in Rosala Lighthouses
Superb Day Trip
We visited on a gorgeous June day, taking the boat from the Kasnas resort. (This particular boat trip also stops at the Rosala Viking Center. The Center itself isn't much, but it is nice to walk around the island if the weather's good.) The staff were very friendly, helpful, and informative. Our guide spent over 45 minutes explaining the lighthouse's history, strategic importance, and infrastructure. It was fascinating. One thing to note, however. This may not be the best option for people who experience limited mobility. Getting into and out of the boat which transported us could be a huge challenge for anyone with physical limitations. While there are level areas around the lighthouse itself, one must climb steps from the dock to the lighthouse, then climb more stairs to get into the building.

Tallest Nordic lighthouse
Fascinating history - both from the construction phase, the life on the very small island and the heroic and successful defence when Russian forces tried to capture it during the second world war. Highly recommended.
