Mariehamn Museum

The main church was built in 1927 and is dedicated to St. George. Designed by renowned architect Lars Sonck. Altarpiece by painter Bruno Tuukkanen. Guide leaflets in Swedish, Finnish, and English available.

The Åland Museum exhibits the history of Åland from prehistoric times up to the present day. Plenty of artefacts from fossils and archaeological finds to the interior of an entire pharmacy. The Åland Art Museum displays pictures by both old and young Åland artists.

This impressive museum preserves memories of the sailing ships, one of its exhibits being the captain’s saloon from the famous four-masted barque Herzogin Cecilie. She was built as cargo-carrying sail training ship for Germany, bought by Gustaf Erikson after World War II and used by him for the Australian grain trade. She ran aground off the coast of England in 1936; her saloon was salvaged and brought to Åland. You will also see all sorts of ship paraphernalia from sextants to sails, souvenirs sailors brought home from their travels, and learn about e.g. shipbuilding and the 19th century seaman's hotel in Mariehamn, and try out being a captain in the museum's ship simulator. One of the treasures here is an original 18th-century Jolly Roger! Also English literature for sale. The archive of Gustaf Erikson was declared an immaterial world heritage by UNESCO in 2023.

Park island with peacocks, rabbits etc. Small sand beach. Activities for children.

By far the most popular attraction in the whole of Åland! Pommern (built as Mneme) is a windjammer turned into a museum ship, kept in original shape, except arrangement for wheelchair access etc. She is a four-masted barque built at J. Reid & Co shipyard in Glasgow in 1903. She soon became one of the Flying P-Liners, the famous sailing ships of the German shipping company F. Laeisz. Later she belonged to Gustaf Erikson of Åland, who used her (and the rest of his windjammers) to carry grain from the Spencer Gulf area in Australia to harbours in England and Ireland until the outbreak of World War II. She was thus one of the last cargo-carrying large sailing ships. In 2018–2019, Pommern was placed into a dock, to lessen stress on her hull. Tickets to go aboard her are sold at the Åland Maritime Museum close by. Show the QR code you received from the ticket office to the customer service on board.

Deciduous forest and a small meadow, part of the Natura 2000 network. A walking and biking route goes through the area. An old cannon from Bomarsund and a copy of Emskär's jungfrudans. At spring you may spot snake's head fritillary or ramsons here.
