St. Olav" s Church, St. Olav Church, with its huge 159-meter spire, is an excellent landmark for nearby ships and a very effective lightning rod. Throughout the church's history, it has been struck by lightning several times and burned completely three times. But it's too difficult to climb to the top of the tower. It's forty stories high. You can see the whole old city.

Once the highest Church in Nordic, climbing up, you can see the whole city of Tallinn, the Baltic Sea, the red castle, the beautiful old medieval city. Climb up the stairs, winding, there are thick hemp ropes to pull, the stairs are very funny, climb up or be careful. It took twenty minutes to climb up. It's small and windy. You can walk around the top with wire mesh protection. But you're still afraid of being blown down by the wind. You can't take pictures carefully around the top. You're afraid that your mobile phone will fall down. It's okay to lose it and hit people when it falls. It's not like a grenade.
