Things to see and do Sund

The impressive ruins by the width of its red granite stones of a vast fortress built by the Russians between Finby and Prästö. The French and English destroyed it during the Crimean War in 1854. A possible opportunity for a 13 km walk between Bomarsund and Kastelholm Castle. Count 4 hours of walking on a well signposted route. Opposite, on the island of Prästo, is the small museum of Bomarsund where the results of the excavations are housed.

Kastelholm Castle is housed in a late 14th century enclosure built on Sund Island where you can enjoy guided tours (about 45 minutes) or self-guided tours if you prefer to go at your own pace. The plus: a pirate route adapted for children, a good way to interest them and to avoid them getting bored. If the weather is good and you have time, take a short detour to Jan Karl's farm (Jan Karlsgården), right next to the fortress. All the typical buildings of the archipelago are represented.
