Källskär’s artist guest house, run by Ålands Culture Delegation, is right by the sea, overlooking a stone harbour rebuilt every spring for years. The Count’s estate spreads across the centre with a garden, a summer house, and “the Witch’s house” by the western sea shore. In the summer, the island is frequented by tourists, but at nighttime there’s no one else around.
Källskär is a place to read Tove Jansson, collect driftwood and other sea secrets, find yourself having become a birdwatcher and develop a genuine interest in the light phenomena brought on by direction of the wind.
