Ulm, Germany - A visit to the world's Tallest Church

Ulm, is a town at the edge of Bavaria in Baden-Wurttemberg, southwest Germany also a place where famous Albert Einstein was born.

The sight that can never be missed was it's Rathaus (City Hall) which was easily noticed by its pulent paint which resembles the early renaissance facade.

Ulm Minister, the tallest Church in the World, standing (161.53 m) in height. It took a staggering of 500 years to build from the first stone laid in 1377 and was finally completed in in 1890, May 31.

The church was built by Ulm people and because of war and fundings, there were stoppages in between. People had never got the fundings from the church itself nor their leaders.

Interior was beautiful and I'm still amazed by how Europeans actually build such majestic church in the earlier days for technology and tools were very limited unlike today.

Let's go up the stairs to find out more! One of our resting point. During my visit part of the church was going through restoration.

It's getting more exciting each time as we stopped by a viewing point. Up Up and here we go!

 The stop before we climbed up the last flight of stairs that was barely enough space for one person to the top to enjoy the scenery.
 

Where sunlights shining through and into the cathedral, it did give some warmth.

Seriously hoping that my Wide Angle DSLR can do more than this! Nevertheless, I'm still rewarded to such magnificent view, perfect memories.

Lovely sight!

I still remember the 768 steps up the Church in order to get such a panoramic view of Ulm in Baden-Wurttemberg and Neu-Ulm in Bavaria.

Truly historic, the sights were breathe taking. Although it took me sweats to reach to the highest point, it's definitely worth the exercise!
