Among the religious buildings there are those whose height seems incredible.

The top spot on the list of tallest churches is occupied by Ulm Cathedral.

The temple is located in Germany, in the town of Ulm.

The height of the structure is almost 162 meters.

History of Ulm Minster

Construction of the 162-metre tower began in 1392 and was completed only in 1890.

But the process did not go on all this time. Construction was often curtailed for one reason or another.

During World War II, Ulm was bombed several times.

Despite this, the temple was almost undamaged, but the square in front of it was destroyed.

Nowadays, the cathedral attracts the attention of tourists from all over the world.

A person who visits the temple is unlikely to find himself at the very top of the tower.

But people are allowed to climb to a height of 143 meters. To get to the desired point, you need to overcome 768 steps of a spiral staircase.
