Ulm Minster

Ulmer Münster

Ulm Minster is a large late-Gothic parish church in Ulm, Germany, notable for its exceptionally tall west spire. Completed in 1890, its tower reaches 161.53 metres, making it one of the tallest church towers in the world; the building combines visible brick walling on the nave and choir with ashlar sandstone upper levels and richly carved stone towers.

What Ulm Minster looked like in its prime.

A very tall, slender west spire of openwork Gothic tracery rises above a long basilica with steep red-tiled roofs and a row of flying buttresses. Upper nave and tower levels are pale sandstone ashlar with elaborate pinnacles and crockets; the lower nave and choir walls show reddish-brown exposed brick. The west façade presents a deep three-bay porch with sculpted tympana and a central column statue; the long nave is flanked by tall clerestory windows and repeated buttress bays.
