Catholic church in Uruguay
St. Paul’s Anglican church in Toronto, Canada

St. Joseph’s Church in France. It’s 107 meters tall
Roman-Catholic Church in Brazil. It’s a 124 meters tall, the tallest in Latin America

I kinda missed the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, Spain
Beautiful building, even though it was never finished due to the rule of its construction: it was to be build only of donated money
And mind that in the Kaiser Wilhelm chursch consists of both those buildings, the new one it quite horrible from both the in- and outside, compared to the original one next to it, which was bombed to scrap in WW2

The Metroplitan Cathedral in Liverpool, is the catholic one. Given that most catholics in Liverpool are of Irish descent, it has earned the name of ‘Paddy’s Wigwam’
The two Cathedrals in Liverpool (the other being Anglican) appropriately stand at either end of Hope Street

The construction of the La Sagrada Familia temple started in the late 1800s and continues to this day. It’s an incredible work of art. Beautiful and bizarre.

The one labeled Washington USA is the LDS (Mormon)Temple in Washington DC. They have over 100 all over the world. The one in San Diego California is also very cool.

Spooky: as always, thanks for an interesting article but please just STOP with your boring, predictable and prejudiced introductions, like “I don’t think this is what churches should look like”. Wouldn’t you think people would like to see *unbiased* reporting, especially on an oddity site?
Yup, guess what: I’m sorry but NOBODY wants to read your judgemental views in the beginning of every single article. Just stop, okay? That would make this site a lot more enjoyable.
