21 Riddarholm Church Spire in Stockholm, Sweden

Riddarholm Church was constructed in the late 13th century. This qualifies as one of Stockholm’s oldest buildings. There was not a tower when this was built as a monastery. In 1581, King John III hired Willem Boy, a prolific architect at the time, to create a spire. After it was destroyed by lightening in 1835, this cast-iron version was added. Notice how the diamond-shaped design seems to turn blue against the sky.
