EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1909, showcases the breathtaking view of the Church of St. Olaf in Tallinn, Estonia, also known as Reval during that period. The Church of St. Olav, or Oleviste Kirik in Estonian, is a significant historical landmark and a testament to the rich architectural and cultural heritage of Tallinn. The Church of St. Olaf, dedicated to Saint Olav, the patron saint of Norway, was the tallest structure in the world for an impressive 76 years between 1549 and 1625. The building's remarkable height of 123.7 meters (406 feet) was achieved through its imposing tower and spire, which dominated the Tallinn skyline. The photograph captures the church's intricate rooftops, adorned with colorful tiles, and the towering spire that once reached towards the heavens. The old town walls, with their unique watchtowers, can also be seen in the background, adding to the historical charm of the scene. Despite its impressive height and historical significance, the Church of St. Olav suffered a tragic fate when its spire was struck by lightning and burnt down in 1625. Nevertheless, the church remains an essential part of Tallinn's identity and continues to attract visitors from around the world who are drawn to its historical and architectural beauty. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a period when the Church of St. Olav was the tallest structure in the world, and Tallinn was a bustling hub of trade and culture in the Baltic Sea region.
