Germany St. Michaelis Church Tower, Hamburg
St. Michael's Church (German: Hauptkirche Sankt Michaelis), colloquially called Michel, is one of Hamburg's five Lutheran main churches (Hauptkirchen) and one of the most famous churches in the city. St. Michaelis is a landmark of the city and it is considered to be one of the finest Hanseatic Protestant baroque churches. The church was purposely built Protestant unlike many other Hamburg churches which were originally built by Roman Catholics and were converted to Protestantism during the Reformation. It is dedicated to the Archangel Michael. A large bronze statue, standing above the portal of the church shows the archangel conquering the devil.

Photography Tips
I spotted the tower right underneath it by placing my camera on a tripod on a parking platform and captured this shot. There are also other compositions in the same place.
