I suppose Lutz belong to one of the Gammelbacka mansion owners of that time.
Gammelbacka mansion located in the center of the current church site. The mansion's history goes back to 1500s, and its owners have been known as the noble Sprengtporten and von Born. The manor's heyday coincided with the 1800s, when Engel designed a new main building. Valuable, Neoclassicism building was destroyed by fire in 1974.
Today, there is only mansions park left. Porvoo city has renovated an old mansions park area by giving the park's grand oaks, lindens and larches have been more space and at the same time that ill hopefully be extended these trees life. Also within the park pond has been renovated and restored.
