The study presents expert and political discussion of the planned demolition of Bratislava Castle and the Podhradie area at the bottom of the castle hill from the end of the 1930s to the mid-1940s. Using archive and journalistic texts from the period, as well as analysis of the actual architectural and urbanist plans, it describes the course of efforts to transform the historic symbol of the city, as well as the opposition and criticism of these plans. The study considers two competitions from 1938 and 1942, held under two different political regimes – liberal democratic Czechoslovakia and the authoritarian wartime Slovak Republic. Comparison of the two competitions shows the formal and content similarity in spite of regime, which defined the modern productive and technocratic thinking of specialists more than political ideology.

The beginnings of Duke Albert of Saxe-Teschen’s (1738 – 1822) more intensive interest in art and art collecting are associated with his stay in Bratislava (former Pressburg) from 1766 to 1780 (after the appointment to the position of the Governor and Chief Captain of Hungary by Empress Maria Theresa in 1765), and his fascination with the ideas of the French Enlightenment and Freemasonry. The article is primarily concerned with the social and cultural values which shaped Albert’s taste and his preferences in the period, when he renovated, built and furnished his residence at Bratislava Castle (including Italian, German, Dutch and Flemish artefacts).
