What can we do to people up to 2200? Bratislava opens a time box from the Michalská Tower and prepares its new content – Denník N

When Peter Eller in 1758 attached the statue of St. to the top of St. Michael’s Tower Michal Archangel, he must have had a good view. The tower, which is part of the last preserved gate of the original fortifications of medieval Bratislava, was at that time one of the highest landmarks of Bratislava.

Copper St. Michal Archangel probably didn’t have time for prospects – he held a flaming sword in his hand and fought a dragon. At the top of the tower, it has lasted for almost two hundred years since the last restoration, which left significant traces on it. When he was recently removed from the roof as part of the reconstruction of the Michalská Tower, it turned out that he had lost part of his right hand with his sword and his left wing.

However, the most valuable thing remained in it – the time box.

Its opening after 176 years will be possible watch live on Wednesday evening via the online stream of the Bratislava City Museum with the participation of Mayor Matúš Vall.

Which may come as a surprise

He chose the box from the bowels of the statue of St. Michal Archangel, restorer Stanislav Kožela, who will restore the statue so that it can be returned after the reconstruction of the tower. He will also take care of its opening in a live broadcast, where the museum cooperates with the Bratislava Cultural and Information Center.
