I think it looks kinda cool actually. The reason why they look like that is:
"Due to Ribe's lack of unhewn stones the church was made mainly of imported material (tuff stones, sandstone etc.) from Germany. A characteristic feature of the building are the two very different towers facing the west. Apparently there used to be two identical towers looking somewhat like the present southward tower, Mariatårnet (=Maria Tower which today is a reconstruction). But after the upper part of the northern tower fell in 1283 it was rebuilt (of monastic stones) with bigger dimensions and possibly a spire. After it fell again in 1594 the tower was rebuilt with its present characteristic look - flat at the top like a castle tower. As a Dutch model it acted as "tower of the city" which means; night watchman tower, tocsin tower, guard- and defence tower."
