Kista Science Tower in Stockholm, a mere three meters taller.

 There
is a very odd story about this lift. It was built in 1883 to
help the wives of the harbour workers. The men working in the
port of Stockholm usually got drunk after getting their wages
and never had any money left to dupport their wives and children.
So a lift was built so that the men could get home. |
