Ulm Minster, the tallest church building in the world.

From the Middle Ages until the advent of the skyscraper, Christian church buildings were often the world's tallest buildings. From 1311, when the spire of Lincoln Cathedral surpassed the height of the Great Pyramid of Giza, until the Washington Monument was completed in 1884, a succession of church buildings held this title.

The tallest church in the world is the Ulm Minster, the main Lutheran congregation in Ulm, Germany. The tallest Roman Catholic, as well as the tallest domed church, is the Basilica of Our Lady of Peace in Yamoussoukro. The tallest church with two steeples as well as the tallest cathedral is Cologne Cathedral in Cologne. The tallest brickwork church is St Martin's Church in Landshut, while the tallest brickwork church with two steeples is St Mary's Church in Lübeck. The city with the most of the tallest churches (five of the 28 tallest churches) is Hamburg,[citation needed] second is Lübeck (four of the 55 tallest churches).[citation needed] The city with the most churches surpassing 75 metres (246 feet) is Berlin (15).[citation needed] The tallest church in the Americas is St Joseph's Oratory in Montreal, while the city with the most churches surpassing 75 metres (246 feet) in the Americas is New York City (four).[citation needed] If completed, Barcelona's Sagrada Família will be the tallest church in the world, at 172.5 metres (566 ft).

This list does not include church buildings that incorporate a significant portion of space to non-church uses, such as the Chicago Temple Building. It does not include structures from non-Christian religions.

Note: The church buildings are ordered based on their tallest recorded height in history. Those listed in italics and marked with H (for "historical") are church buildings no longer in existence (suffix D) or no longer as tall as their previous maximum height(suffix >100 if height today > 100 metres, suffix >75 if height today > 75 metres and suffix <75 if height today below 75 metres). These church buildings may appear a second time on the list if their current shorter height is still greater than 75 metres (3,000 inches)order to view the tallest present churches in a row click the sorting button in the H column.
