Evening at the Lighthouse

starting at €90.00

The open sea is rarely calm. When the sound of the waves is absent, the calm is often silent as well—except in early summer. In the north, there is plenty of light, and the cries of the terns echo long into the night. The low, soft cackle of the eider ducks waddling near the buildings on the lighthouse island in the dead of night melts the soul. That gentle chatter is among my fondest memories of the sea, dating back to my early childhood.

The LIGHTHOUSE stands at the edge of the world. The stairs smoothed by thousands of steps lead to the lantern room. From there, you can see the shadows of the clouds reflected in the mirror of the sea – and the small world of the lighthouse island or cape. In Finland lighthouses began to be left without keepers or even become completely unnecessary from the 1050s. It was not until the turn of the millennium that the cultural and architectural value of these sea markers, abandoned to the mercy of the weather and vandalism, began to be understood and efforts were initiated to save them. Everyone who has participated in saving even one of our lighthouses has given a gift to all Finns.
