Oleviste Church - TallinnNext photo - 79 kb

Church of st. Olaf is the most impressive building in the Old Tallinn in my opinion. For the first time it was noticed in the chronicles of 1267. The church got a number of reconstructions and in the 16th century became the tallest building in Europe with it's spire height of 159 m. Lightning constantly beat to the spire and the church burned three times. Now the height of the building is only 129 m.
