What is a "steeple"?
In architecture, a steeple is a tall, pointed structure that extends above the roof of a church or other building. It typically features a spire at the top and may include a bell tower. Steeples are designed to catch attention and symbolize a connection to the divine, creating a sense of height and inspiration. They also serve practical functions, such as holding bells that mark the times for services, while enhancing the visual appeal of the church and contributing to the overall architectural style.
