List of tallest church buildings

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, second is Lübeck (four of the 55 tallest churches). The city with the most churches surpassing 75 metres/246 feet is Berlin (14). 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). When completed, Barcelona's Sagrada Família will be the tallest church in the world, at 170 metres (560 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 or no longer as tall as their previous maximum height. These church buildings may appear a second time on the list if their current shorter height is still significant. In order to view the tallest present churches in a row click the sorting button in the H column.
