  1. Ålands Museum & Ålandskonstmuseum

    In the centre of town, the Ålands Museum & ÅlandsKonst Museum are housed in the same large building. Permanent exhibits offer an insight into the complete history of the islands including a replica of a Stone Age boat made of sealskin, a reconstructed traditional pharmacy and a large illustration of Bomarsund in all its glory. The panels don’t have information in English, so take a leaflet on entry.

  2. Sankt Göran’s Kyrka

    The copper-roofed Sankt Göran’s Kyrka, built in 1927, is one of the few modern churches on the islands. Its art nouveau style was conceived by Lars Sonck, who grew up in Åland. The glittering mosaic altarpiece is a real highlight.
