St Pantaleon's Church
The pretty red and white St Pantaleon's Church was built between 1735 and 1739. It was originally built in the architectural style known as Petrine baroque, but later mid-19th century work gave it some empire features. In 1936 the church was closed and it was later used to hold a museum on the defence of the Hanko Peninsular during the Second World War. It was returned to the Orthodox Church in 1991 and reopened for worship in 1994.
