A bit of history. Robert Hoge's maternal grandfather Karl Grönlund was a katontervaaja and one of his main clients was this Cathedral in Porvoo. His son, Arvid Grönlund continued the work until retirement. Who would have imagined that one day I would be married to the son (Robert Hoge) of Karl Grönlunds daughter (and Arvid's sister) Hilda Alice.
