The Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim has this interesting feature as well: https://radiojente.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/nidarosdomen-...

The story behind that were something along the lines of, according to legend, if Nidaros Cathedral ever were finished, Trondheim would be swept into the ocean by clay/land-slide, hence, there's a missing brick that'll never be laid.

Another interesting feature of the Nidaros cathedral is that one of the statues - Archangel Michael, if memory serves - has got Bob Dylan's facial features.

The sculptor who restored the statue in the sixties needed a face and as Dylan was opposed to the Vietnam war (as was the sculptor - in addition to being a big Dylan fan), St. Bob wound up on top of a spire.
