Last week,my Finnish language brush up course ended. It was right up from this. The Ritarihuone. There is a plaque on the front that calls it the Nobility House and it was featured in the Helsinki Sanomat ont August 6th. It read, "Ritarihuone on Suomen tarkein uusgotiikkaa edustava rakennus." It is Finland's major new gothic typic building. Or it is a building that chiefly typifies Finland's new gothic style. Something like that. Anyway, Finland used to have four estate system of government. They were from four different classes, the Nobility, the Burghers, Clergy, and Peasants.So, this is where the Noblity met.
