About this audio guide
This guide to Oscar Fredrik Church in Gothenburg starts on Easter Sunday in eighteen ninety-three, with a bishop, a new organ and a nave built for a crowd. It follows the money and the people behind a neo-Gothic giant in the Olivedal district: a parish growing faster than its pews, a star architect from Stockholm, and a merchant whose name clung to a rocky hill. Stand in the square facing the spire.
