This is a very beautiful cathedral in Lincoln, UK. It's called the Lincoln Cathedral, and it shows the architects' creative visions. From 1300–1549 the Lincoln Cathedral was the tallest building in the world. It stood at 271 feet. In the 12th century the cathedral was destroyed by an earthquake, but was rebuilt in the years to come. The central spire collapsed in 1549, and it has never been rebuilt. Although with it, the tower reached 525 feet at one time. Then in 1549, the cathedral was shortened significantly because of the collapse. The cathedral has inspired countless architects through the centuries, and it is still being admired today.
