St Olav's Church, Tallinn, Estonia. Believed to date from the 12th century, this church is dedicated to King Olaf II of Norway (Saint Olaf). The spire used to be 159 metres tall, which made the church the tallest building in the world between 1549 and 1625, when it burned down after being struck by lightning.
