Nauvo has more to see than you'd think: a medieval church, an ancient stone labyrinth, a famous landscape painter's trail and a dramatic viewpoint with caves — all reachable by a short walk or bike ride.
An ancient 11-ringed stone labyrinth on the Finby shore — one of Finland's most impressive. Such "Troy Town" labyrinths likely served fishing rituals; there are no dead ends.
2.8 km nature & culture trail on Ernholm island — the highest point Jetukasti is 42 m above sea level. Named after landscape painter Victor Westerholm (1860–1919), who spent summers here. 14 information boards in Finnish, Swedish and English.
2.4 km nature trail with a viewing tower and caves in Mattnäs village, north-eastern Storlandet. The Mattnäs village association built the trail, the tower, a lean-to and rest area. Gentle climb: 20 → 46 m. The name refers to the 1800s when wolves were chased over the cliff.
Medieval grey-stone church (c. 1430–1450) rises in the heart of the village on Kyrkbacken. The three-aisled hall church is dedicated to Saint Olaf. One of Finland's most significant archipelago churches — a great short stop and shelter from rain.
Nauvo's guest harbour is one of Finland's busiest — in summer it fills with sailboats and motor boats from Stockholm, Helsinki and beyond. Service building, cafés and terraces. Locally called "Finland's Saint-Tropez".
A 1,800 m² art museum in western Nauvo / Nagu — one of the biggest in Finland and the country's largest privately owned art museum. On the same estate: a botanic garden, a café, and the Haapman vineyard, which grows some of Northern Europe's first Cabernet Sauvignon vines as well as red and white Noble rot–style wines.
