Image:Bengtskar lighthouse.JPG Bengtskär is a skerry southwest of Hanko, Finland. The skerry has no trees, only some grasses and wildflowers.

The lighthouse on the skerry is the highest one (52 meters) in the Nordic countries. It was built in 1906 and it is the first lighthouse museum in Finland.

The lighthouse was bombarded in World War I, and attacked again in World War II.
