The story
On the quiet outskirts of Kastelholm, Åland, Jan Karlsgården offers a walk through history with its collection of old wooden buildings, a traditional maypole, and Russian storehouses. It’s an open-air museum that feels less like a curated exhibit and more like a preserved, living fragment of the past.
Nicolò Balini, visiting for *il Paese NON Paese*, described the grounds as feeling “like the perfect setting for a horror movie, especially at dusk.” That eerie, cinematic stillness underscores the museum’s quiet power — a scenic, historic landscape that lingers long after you leave.
