St. Olav's church (Oleviste Kirik) was once the tallest building in the world, reaching up to 159 meters. In 1625 the spire burnt down and was rebuilt to its present day 123.7 meters. It still towers over the Old Town.
There is an observation platform along the rim of the spire at 60 meters above the ground which is open during the summer months.
