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.

If we want to be very precise about the grammar there is another problem. "so we live in Sweden" does not logically follow from the previous clauses. "so" would be better replaced by "and".

Or omit "so" and separate the sentence into two related sentences connected by a semi-colon:

We’re part Swedish, part Norwegian; we live in Sweden, but our family has a summer house in Norway that my grandfather built.)
