A place worth remembering

An illusory window with two flowerpots

The Bratislava City Museum lists an illusory window with two flowerpots among the original details of the House of the Good Shepherd, alongside original grilles. The shepherd sculpture under the canopy is no longer the original.[1]

Craft below, homes above

The city museum says the building was built in 1760–1765. Its basement and ground floor were originally used for trade and craft, while the upper floors served as housing. The interior was later adapted for exhibition purposes, and the clock exhibition opened to the public in 1974.[1]

Six tapestries at the palace

The City of Bratislava’s Primate’s Palace gallery page describes a unique collection of six seventeenth-century tapestries from the Mortlake Manufactory in England. It says they were accidentally discovered in 1903.[2]
