Tyska Kyrkan, German Church spire - If you visit Stockholm, you are bound to see the German Church or at least its spire, which dominates the Gamla Stan skyline. The brick steeple and the copper covered spire, together 96 metres tall (1878), designed by a Berliner - Julius Carl Raschdorff. For the commission he chose Neogothic gargoyles featuring grotesque animals, indeed unusual in Swedish architectural history but today recognized as 'natural features' of the old town.
