About this audio guide
This guide to St. Andreas in Düsseldorf follows the money behind a Baroque Jesuit church, starting with Duke Wolfgang Wilhelm and a contested Rhineland inheritance in the early sixteen hundreds. It touches a secret change of faith, a Bavarian marriage, a widow's plot of land and decades of fundraising. Stand under the galleries and look up at the white stucco while you listen.
