About this audio guide
This guide to Feskekörka in Gothenburg begins in the late eighteen sixties with Sven Renström, an unmarried iron merchant famous for his thrift, as he sits down to write his will. It follows his money into the city council's hands and meets the city architect Victor von Gegerfelt and his unusual roof. Best heard standing on the quay by the canal, facing the pointed arches.
