The tower of the Franciscan monastery in Bratislava was completely restored in the last decade of the 19th century under the supervision of Frigyes Schulek. It was first disassembled and then reconstructed. A garden pavilion was built in the Aupark (today Janko Kráľ Park) using the old stones. But there is an important difference between the tower of the monastery and the pavilion: while the aforementioned has a pointed, pyramid-like spire, the latter’s termination is curved and dome-shaped. This article also discusses the events of the reconstruction, focusing mainly on the actual dismantling and construction works. The reconstruction of the Franciscan tower indicates a changing of principles in monument preservation: it is a more or less accurate copy of the unsustainable original.

The article focuses on a group of prominent sacral spaces of the early medieval Croatian state (e.g. in Crkvina in Biskupija, Zazvic or Cetina) displaying some characteristics of the contemporary Carolingian architecture, including one of the most innovative and impressive features of medieval architecture in general, the westwork. It argues for a broader perspective, including cultural anthropology and linguistics into consideration, i.e. that the tower-like structure - the westwork - has connections to superstructures of contemporary early Slavic houses, and that the westwork is 'anti-renovation', 'anti-Carolingian', thus opening new ways for the artistic development of original medieval forms.
