Ulm Minster is a Lutheran dome in the German city of Ulm, built in Gothic style. In the church sense, it is not a cathedral because this church has never been the seat of a bishop. Originally, it was a Catholic dome, and during the Reformation it went into the hands of Protestants. Thanks to a 161.5 meter high tower, it is the tallest church in the world. The dome is 123 m long and 48 m wide. It covers approximately 8260 m². Its construction began in 1377 and was completed in 1890.
