Right place, right time
Pieces of Ribe's Cathedral and the buildings on Torvet street surrounding it, as seen from the top of the 52m-tall Commoner's Tower of the Cathedral. The Commoner's Tower was originally 62 meters high, capped by a copper "Rhenish helmet" including a narrow spire on top. However, after partially collapsing in 1594, the tower was rebuilt 10 meters lower, and with no money to add any kind of spire it remained flat-topped.
