The spire of Vor Frelsers Kirke (Our Saviours Church), Sankt Annæ Gade, Copenhagen. Denmark. The church was completed in 1696 by Lambert von Haven and the spire completed 1752. The spire forms a staircase, 400 steps and 90 meter (295 ft), designed by Lauritz de Thurah, inspired by Roman Sant'Ivo alla Sapianza, and offer the second highest panoramic viewpoint of Copenhagen. The story goes, and was made to a movie in 1997, that Thurah jumped from the top of the spire after realising that it unfortunately went the wrong way round. However, in reality he died in his bed 7 years after the completion of the tower. On the right side of the staircase, mid tower, is tourist climbing the stairs.
