The soaring Ulm Minster

Posted on 4:41 AM by Unknown
What's the tallest church in the world? It's the Ulm Minster in southern Germany. Begun in 1377, it wasn't finally completed until 1890. It was the fourth highest structure in the world at that time.

Ulm Minster
Unfortunately most of the medieval city surrounding the minster was destroyed late in the Second World War. The soaring of the tower above the medieval precinct must once have looked very impressive.


Here's a photo of the minster in a more historic setting.


And finally a photo of the interior (worth clicking on to enlarge).


Not bad for a city which even today numbers only 120,000 inhabitants.
