The world's tallest church. Finished in 1890, Ulm Minster in Germany is the fourth tallest structure built before 1900 at 161.5 meters, and for a short period of time was the tallest building in the world (yes, taller than the Great Pyramid).

  1. I recommend taking the stairs up there. It’s lovely!

  2. Alright, so did we completely forget the Eiffel Tower? I think it was built in 1887.

    Edit : The Eiffel Tower was indeed started in 1887, completed in 1889. So this, despite being bigger than the great pyramid of Giza, was never the tallest building in the world. The tallest church in the world I’d say?

  3. Its debatable. Is the Eiffel Tower a building? Or a structure?

  4. I thought this was a spaceship for an entire minute
