About this audio guide
This guide to the Blumental church in Bratislava follows János Fadrusz, a cheesemaker's son from Pressburg who drifted through woodcarving and locksmithing before sculpture, and the student piece he made in Vienna in the early eighteen-nineties. It also takes in the suburb once called the Flower Valley, whose families saved for decades to raise this church. Listen standing in the nave, among the grey granite columns.
