Moscow, July 1, Interfax - Yekaterinburg architects created a concept of the highest church in the world: they suggested combining in one project a cult building and the notorious unfinished construction, Yekaterinburg TV reports.

"According to the concept, they are going to combine the unfinished construction and the cult building in one cosmic-shaped construction, though it is far from architecture of Orthodox churches," the TV channel reports.

According to the authors of the idea, they wanted to suggest an alternative to "the church on water," which was voiced among others projects of Yekaterinburg church.

Besides the church, the authors of the unusual building envisaged setting up a cultural center at it.

I think they mean the “tallest church in the world???”
I would take the “highest church in the world” as the one at the highest elevation - which I imagine to be in the Himalayas.

Even Anchorage, Alaska has a strange and unfinished 'church' building. Shaped like a weird wedding cake, it sits empty and unfinished - and has for years. Not a church, an eyesore
