ULM, Germany (AP) — The Ulmer Münster in southern Germany holds the title of the world's tallest church, a distinction it has proudly maintained since its completion on May 31, 1890. Standing at an impressive 161.5 meters (530 feet) high, this Gothic-style Lutheran church has been a symbol of faith and architectural marvel for over a century.
However, the Ulmer Münster's reign as the tallest church may soon come to an end. La Sagrada Familia Basilica in Barcelona, Spain, is nearing completion of its “Tower of Jesus Christ,” which is projected to reach a height of 172.5 meters (566 feet) by 2025. This would surpass the Ulmer Münster by a mere 11 meters (36 feet).
