Between 1549 and 1625, St. Olaf’s Church in Tallinn, Estonia was the tallest building in the world, until the spire burnt down after a lightening strike. It has been struck with lightening at least 8 times, and the whole church has burnt down at least 3 times.
In the end, its beauty still stands.
This is the view from the top.
Simply beautiful.
