About relative pronoun

"My brother and I are driving from Stockholm, Sweden to the south of Norway. (We’re part Swedish, part Norwegian, so we live in Sweden, but our family has a summer house in Norway that my grandfather built.)"

In the part "our family has a summer house in Norway that my grandfather built." Is it ok to replace "that" with "which"? Any difference? Thank you.

"Which" is more applicable to some sort of of choice or option, but the sentence is equally comprehensible whether it uses "which" or "that".

Though the sentence would be shorter and smoother if grandfather was nearer his summer house:

"our family has a summer house, built by my grandfather, in Norway".

Tht brings back a personal memory from years ago! On a holiday walking in the hills in Norway, we met two young men on their way, they told us, to inspect an old house we had passed. They explained it had been their grandfather's and they wanted to use it again, as a summer house.
