Biography

Spihler was born at Södermalm in Stockholm, Sweden.

He aided Jean de la Vallée in the design and construction of Katarina Kyrka (Catherine Church) as technical superintendent at the church in 1671.[2] Spihler also built the Van der Nootska Palace between 1671 and 1672.

In the latter half of the 17th century, Marshal of the Realm of Sweden Johan Gabriel Stenbock (1640-1705) brought the Sjööe state in the parish of Holm in Enköping. Together with Mathias Spieler and architect Nicodemus Tessin the Elder (1615-1681), Stenbock built Sjöö Castle on his estate. The construction work lasted from 1669 until 1679 resulting in the shape and form in which it is today. Sjöö Castle Palace with its park is considered one of the most beautiful in Sweden, with its perfect and harmonious proportions.[3] [4]

Spieler was married to Margaret de la Vallée, daughter of Jean de la Vallée. Spieler died in Stockholm. He is buried in Kungsholms kyrka (Ulrika Eleonora Church) which he built in 1672.

gollark: Well, that would be inconvenient.
gollark: Increasing the key sizes a lot isn't very helpful if it doesn't increase the difficulty of breaking it by a similarly large factor.
gollark: I'm not sure what P = NP would mean for that. Apparently doing that is non-polynomial time, and a constructive P = NP proof would presumably let you construct a polynomial-time algorithm.
gollark: Asymmetric cryptography stuff relies on it being impractically hard to do some things, such as factor large semiprime numbers.
gollark: Symmetric encryption is safe still, I think. And polynomial-time doesn't mean you can't have ridiculously gigantic (fixed) exponents or constant factors.
