About this audio guide
This guide to Fužine Castle on the eastern edge of Ljubljana follows the nineteenth-century household of the industrialist Fidelis Terpinc and his wife Josipina, who filled a Renaissance merchant's castle with Slovene paintings. You'll meet the painters they bought from, a poet-composer niece, a novelist courting under a window, and a teacher who became Slovenia's great woman painter. Best heard in the arcaded courtyard.
