The bell tower on Agneberg was also severely damaged by the great city fire that devastated the city on 29 July 1806. The entire superstructure, a copper-plagued lanternin, (lint-shaped superstructure on roof), in rich gilding and with high spire, was lost and the bells melted in the heat. Only the sun-warmed walls remained and they were covered with a simple wooden roof. It was not until 1833 that the tower was built with the roof profile that it has today.
