List of the tallest sacred buildings

The list of the tallest sacred buildings starts with the world's tallest churches over 85 m high. This is followed by a table of the tallest other sacred buildings ( mosques , pagodas , other buildings, etc.). The third table lists a selection of churches that are between 65 and 85 meters high and are particularly famous.

List of the highest churches

The churches are listed according to their highest point. This is usually a church tower or crossing tower, sometimes a dome or a roof turret . Only the current altitude is taken into account. For example, that was Lincoln Cathedral once for unsecured tradition supposedly about 160 m high, but since the destruction reached the tower helmet only 83 m. If the Sagrada Família is ever completed, it will be the tallest church in the world with its 170 m high main tower.

Note: Although the available height information is backed up by sources (as far as possible), the figures cannot be regarded as absolute. This is due to the often sparse and ambiguous sources; For example, it is usually unclear whether the purely “architectural” height is meant or the total height including the cross, weathercock, antenna or the like on the top. If possible, the latter is taken into account in the list.
