Information about the region of Åland
The first traces of human beings can be traced back to the stone age when the first fishermen and seal hunters settled down in the archipelago. Åland already belonged to Sweden, Finland, and Russia. Since 1921 it is a demilitarized autonomous province of Finland. But since the archipelago experienced an early influence from the Swedish realm, you will find buildings that you won't find in the rest of Finland. Especially the medieval castle of Kastelhom from the 14th century as well as the church of Jomala, built between 1275 and 1285, shall be mentioned. The latter one is the oldest still existing building in Finland. As you can see, Åland is not only worth a visit because of the tax-free shopping. Come and discover Åland and its nature, its buildings, and its uniqueness as a Swedish outpost of Finland!
