Description
• World's tallest structure in 1625–1647.
• The church was first mentioned in 1298.
• The bell tower collapsed in 1382, and was rebuilt by 1478. In 1495, the steeple tower blew down during a severe storm, and was then rebuilt taller. This was subsequently struck by lightning in 1647 and burned down, and was rebuilt in 1708 as a baroque dome.
