About this audio guide
This guide to Masthugget Church in Gothenburg begins on a summer morning in nineteen fourteen, when two brand-new bells in a not-yet-consecrated tower were rung for a reason nobody had planned for. It touches the shipyard that cast them, the bishop who came that autumn, and the log ceiling that honours the district's mast makers. Best heard from the hilltop outside, looking up at the tower.
