The present red wooden church, Saint Mary\u2019s church, located in N\u00e4sby, was built in 1703. The traditional livelihood for the inhabitants of Houtsk\u00e4r has been fishing and shipping. At the end of the 19th century the population was around 2000 people. Thanks to the fishing, the people in the archipelago survived the difficult famine of 1867-68 better than the people on the mainland, who suffered largely because of the poor harvests.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/visithoutskar.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Historia_kollaasi.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"193\" src=\"https:\/\/visithoutskar.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Historia_kollaasi-1024x193.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51866\" srcset=\"https:\/\/visithoutskar.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Historia_kollaasi-1024x193.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/visithoutskar.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Historia_kollaasi-300x57.jpg 300w, https:\/\/visithoutskar.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Historia_kollaasi-768x145.jpg 768w, https:\/\/visithoutskar.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Historia_kollaasi-1536x290.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/visithoutskar.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Historia_kollaasi.jpg 1748w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>History Due to the land uplift, which is around 50 cm per century in this area, the islands have changed both in size and number.
