I would love to tour it someday, it's an impressive looking structure.

They offer tours up into the spire. Check the church website for details.

Fan of all structures crooked! That's brilliant, that a labour shortage might be behind it. Then again, a bit worried about structures being put up but. 😱

I suspect it will still outlive most new homes being built today! The workmanship is terrible.

I was afraid of that. It's terrible here, too. I can say that with authority after taking temporary digs in two flats in different parts of America in 2019. Bits of them were dropping off, and the walls were tissue paper. Skilled craftsmen being replaced by cheap labour.

On a road trip, I saw the twisted spire out the car window and had to stop to take a photo. It was so unexpected!

It's very striking and unmissable. I wonder how many photos have been taken of it? :-)

Lovely, reminds me of the spire of the St. Clemens church in my German ancestral home. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Clemens_(Mayen)

Thank you Rob. Nice to see another twisted spire!
