In Wrocław (Breslau), Poland, St. Elizabeth's Church (Kościół św. Elżbiety, Sankt Elisabethkirche) was 130 meter high when built. The gothic structure dates back to the 14th century when building was assigned by the city of Breslau. It was destroyed by a heavy hail in 1529 and suffered damage by fire in 1976. During this unfortunate event, the church's renowned organs went up in flames. Its main tower is now only 91 meters high.
