Mikkeli – port calls

Harbour and history

Mikkeli’s harbour belongs to the urban landscape of the Saimaa waterways. Connections across the lake complemented older land routes. Markets, travel and waterside settlement therefore link the town’s history with that of the surrounding countryside.

Culture and local stories

The history of Kenkävero Parsonage reaches back to the fifteenth century. The site was long an island, and its buildings became a local setting for learning and social encounters. Crafts and gardens now complement the heritage of the parsonage in its cultural use.
