Ulm Minster (German: Ulmer Münster) is a Gothic church of the Evangelical Church in Germany located in Ulm, Baden-Württemberg. It is the second-tallest church building in the world, with a steeple measuring 161.53 metres (530.0 ft). The church was the fourth-tallest structure in the world when the towers were completed in 1890. Though it is sometimes referred to as Ulm Cathedral because of its great size, the church is not a cathedral as it has never been the episcopal see of a bishop. Though the towers and all decorative elements are of stone masonry, attracting the attention of visitors, most of the walls, including the façades of the nave and choir, actually consist of visible brick. Therefore, the building is sometimes referred to as a brick church. As such, it lays claim to the rank of second- to fourth-largest, after San Petronio Basilica in Bologna and together with Frauenkirche in Munich and St. Mary's Church in Gdańsk. The tower however was mainly built from sandstone. Ulm Minster was begun in the Gothic architecture of the Late Middle Ages but the building was not completed until the late 19th century after a hiatus of centuries.
