Niguliste bell tower

In the Danish King's Garden.

 

"St. Nicholas' Church (Niguliste kirik) is a medieval former church built in the 13th century, partially destroyed in World War II and restored after war.

 

In late 17th century the tower was strengthened and secured. The spire was replaced with a Baroque one with airy galleries, which was raised higher stage by stage through several centuries. The tower is now 105 metres (344.5 ft) high."

 

Sculpture:

Three Monks, Ambrosius, Bartholomeus, and Claudius by Simson von Seakyl and Paul Mänd. Contemporary, obviously, and rather kitchy to my taste.
