The first dwelling of a clergyman was built here, on what was then an island, in the mid-1400s. Kenk\u00e4vero served as a vicarage for the last time in 1969. After that, the main building of Kenk\u00e4vero was at risk of falling into ruin. The new heyday began in 1990, and the Kenk\u00e4vero vicarage is now full of spirit and life, thanks to careful and successful restoration, charming interior design, and versatile services that suit the historic environment<br \/>\n.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">Kenk\u00e4vero restaurant offers tasty delicacies<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Give yourself a permission to enjoy good food, be it a weekday or a special occasion. We can make even the most ordinary day feel like a celebration. We pride our restaurant for the carefully selected local produce, menus that suit the era and style of the vicarage as well as the Finnish palate, pastries made by hand in our own bakery, and the unique and beautiful facilities. All this is topped off with hospitable service in a magnificent milieu on the shore of Lake Saimaa, surprisingly close to the Mikkeli city centre.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">You are welcome here alone or with a friend, all year round, for lunch, coffee or perhaps a refreshing glass of wine.
