About this audio guide
This guide to Gothenburg Cathedral starts with a date on the altar that does not match the date on the building around it. It follows the architects, the sculptor and the unexpected patron behind the church's art, from the seventeen-fifties to the long rebuilding of the early eighteen-hundreds. Best heard standing in the aisle, facing the altar, with the pulpit in view.
