 But since then there have been relatively few "foreign" architects working in Finland or even of cases of individual buildings designed by foreign architects.Also having a major influence in the mid-to-late 19th century was the Swedish-born Georg Theodor Chiewitz, who designed in both the Neo-Renaissance and Neo-Gothic styles.There are known early cases of the Finnish state inviting foreign architects to offer their expertise on a technical planning issue, as with the invitation to the German hospital architects Carl Schleicher and Schüll Düren in the 1910s to make a proposal for the Women's Clinic in Helsinki, their project designed very much in the classical style of the time.
