German Church in Stockholm

You're standing at the Tyska kyrkan, the German Church, right in the heart of Gamla stan. Start by looking up. That brick steeple with its copper spire rises ninety-six metres, the tallest in the old town. It went up after a fire in 1878, designed by the Berlin architect Julius Raschdorff. Spot the gargoyles? They're grotesque animals, something you rarely see in Sweden. Yet these days they feel like a natural part of the old town.
