About this audio guide
This guide to St. Andrew's Church in Antwerp stays with one piece of carved oak: the pulpit, and the Bible shoreline its makers built into it in the years after French occupation emptied the region's churches. It touches the fishermen brothers Peter and Andrew, the two sculptors behind the carving, and the poor neighbourhood that earned this place the name parish of misery. Best heard standing in the nave, a few steps back from the pulpit's base.
